In his address, Hon. Joseph Amankwah stated that the project forms part of the government’s commitment to strengthening primary healthcare delivery and improving living and working conditions for health personnel. He emphasized that the inclusion of nurses’ quarters and a mechanized borehole will enhance staff accommodation, promote retention of health workers, and ensure uninterrupted healthcare services for the people of Dumanafo and surrounding communities.

The Chief of Dumanafo, Nana Owusu Kwarteng, expressed his deep appreciation to the NDC government and the Municipal Chief Executive for responding to the healthcare needs of the community. He noted that residents had to travel to Mamponteng to access medical services under challenging conditions. He described the project as timely and impactful, and assured the Assembly and the contractor of the community’s full support to ensure the smooth execution of the project.
