Nabdam Member of Parliament has officially handed over a newly built two-bedroom accommodation for nurses to the Gundorg/Wore-Daah in the Zanlerigu community in the Nabdam District. Apexnewsgh reports
The facility, which was constructed using the MP’s NHIA fund and personal money, aims to address the community’s cry for nurses to be accommodated two years ago.
The Nabdam Legislator explained that the lack of accommodation for nurses resulted in them leaving the clinic at 5 pm, leaving no one to attend to deliveries at night. “The new facility will enable nurses to stay on-site, ensuring 24-hour care for the community”. He stressed
Dr. Nawaane during the handing over further appealed to the community to maintain the facility and encouraged them to come together to raise funds for any necessary repairs. The facility has been painted in the recommended green color of the Ghana Health Service.
He thanked the community for their support and invited them to inspect the facility. The keys were later handed over to the staff.
Mercy Afobiga a health worker in charge of the facility explained how the new accommodation will enhance their activities, noting that their current space is cramped, with multiple services being provided in a single room. The new accommodation will enable staff to move out, allowing for confidential services to be provided to clients one at a time.
When asked how they managed without the accommodation, Madam Afobiga described the challenges they faced, including navigating poor road networks, especially during rainfall. They had to park their vehicles and walk to the community to provide services.
The healthcare worker emphasized that the new accommodation’s central location serves multiple communities, including those from nearby communities.
They expressed gratitude to the MP, wishing him God’s blessings and upliftment, and hoping that he will continue to support their needs in the future.
