Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare commissions CHPS compound at Kokoago

Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare, the Member of Parliament for Techiman North, has officially inaugurated an ultra-modern Community-based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) compound in Kokoago. The facility is designed to bridge the healthcare gap for residents who previously faced significant challenges in accessing basic medical services. By bringing healthcare closer to the doorstep of the people, the project aims to reduce maternal mortality rates and ensure timely medical intervention for the community and its surrounding areas.

The newly commissioned health center is equipped with modern infrastructure to meet the primary healthcare needs of the Kokoago community. A critical addition to the facility is a mechanized water system, which ensures a consistent and hygienic water supply for both medical procedures and general sanitation. This infrastructure is expected to alleviate the burden on residents, particularly pregnant women and the elderly, who previously had to travel long distances to receive care in other parts of the district.

During the commissioning ceremony, which was attended by local officials and traditional leaders, the Member of Parliament emphasized her commitment to improving health outcomes in the constituency. Community leaders expressed their gratitude for the project, noting that the absence of a nearby health facility had long been a source of distress. They highlighted that the proximity of the new CHPS compound would prove life-saving during medical emergencies, especially for expectant mothers who often struggled to reach larger hospitals in time.

The opening of the Kokoago CHPS compound represents a broader effort to enhance primary healthcare delivery in the Techiman North District. Beyond immediate medical services, the project is viewed as a vital foundation for public health education and preventative care. Local authorities have urged the residents to take ownership of the facility and ensure its proper maintenance to serve the community for many years to come.
