The National Women’s Organiser of the New Patriotic Party, Kate Gyamfua, in partnership with the Village Girl Foundation, handed over an ultramodern polyclinic to the people of Akyem Takorowase in the Denkyembour District of the Eastern Region on March 13, 2025.
The facility includes a fully furnished 60-bed ward, a rehabilitated and fully equipped medical laboratory, and the provision of advanced medical equipment and supplies.
The polyclinic is an upgrade of an existing health centre in the community.
The Ghana Health Service’s decision to upgrade the facility from a health centre to a polyclinic follows significant improvements in infrastructure and medical equipment.
The facility was officially handed over to Dr Winfred K. Ofosu, Regional Director of Health Services for the Eastern Region, who, in turn, ceremoniously handed it over to the Denkyembour District Health Directorate and the traditional leadership of the community.
He commended the NPP Women’s Organiser for her outstanding contribution and encouraged health workers to uphold a strong culture of maintenance.
He also appealed to the chiefs and residents to help secure affordable accommodation for health workers posted to the town and urged other philanthropic organisations to support the facility with further resources.
Giving Back
Ms Gyamfua expressed her appreciation to the people of the community for their continuous support.
She explained that it was a sense of fulfilment to give back to the community after rising to the pinnacle of her political career as well ss the success she has chalked in her business field.
She also appealed to the chiefs and residents to maintain the facility to ensure its longevity.
Benedicta Fosu Mensah, Chief Executive Officer of the Village Girl Foundation, stated that she saw the need to collaborate with the NPP Women’s Organiser on the project.
Appreciation
Osabarima Owusu Nketia I, Chief of Takorowase, expressed the community’s gratitude to the donors.
He further called on other individuals from the community who have succeeded in life to return and contribute to its development.
