The lack of a doctor at the Esiama Clinic for the past year has alarmed Nana Ainoo-Kwagyan III, Chief of Esiama in the Ellembelle District in the Western Region to call out for help
He called on the government and other progressive institutions to assist in resolving the issue, stating that it was having an impact on the delivery of healthcare.
The appeal was made by Nana Ainoo-Kwagyan when Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, the Ellembelle MP, paid him a visit at his palace.
The chief had invited them to talk about certain developmental difficulties and how they could work together to address them. This was the reason for the visit.
According to the chief, Esiama Township’s population is expanding geometrically, necessitating the necessity for a different doctor to handle healthcare demands.
He urged the MP to assist in upgrading the Clinic to a hospital and said he was ready to release land for the project to serve the community.
“Esiama deserves a befitting hospital, the old clinic is like a CHPS compound,” he said.
Mr Kofi Buah reminded the chief and elders of a district hospital project, which had been on the drawing board before the previous government left office, saying, the projections were made to site it hospital between Esiama and Nkroful.
He assured the chief and his elders that measures were being put in place to build the hospital for the area.
