Nsaba gets new clinic

Agona Nsaba (Central Region), 19th April

Mr Kojo Yankah, Ashanti Regional Minister, has commissioned a 67 million-cedi clinic at Agona Nsaba, in the Central region.

The project was financed with money from the district assembly's common fund.

Mr Yankah who is the MP for the area said the clinic, constructed with the district assembly's common fund will help to bring health services to the doorstep of the people.

He said a similar project would soon be commissioned at Agona Mankrong, adding that the Agona district assembly is prepared to provide more amenities for the communities but is hindered by financial constraints.

Mr Yankah appealed to citizens of Agona Nsaba resident outside to donate generously towards development in the town since the government alone cannot provide all the needed facilities.

Nana Odiako Bonsu, Presiding Member of the assembly appealed to the government to expedite action on the construction of a maternity block and to provide accommodation for workers at the clinic and advised the people to plant trees around the clinic to serve as a windbreak.
