Qatar Charity Ghana, in partnership with the Ghana Health Service (GHS) and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), has cut sod for the construction of a modern Fistula Holding Home, at the Yendi Government Hospital, in the Northern Region.
The facility, when completed, will serve as a specialised centre for the management and treatment of obstetric fistula, a major maternal health condition affecting women in the Northern Region.
Mr Ben Appiagyei of the Yendi Government Hospital Health Information Office, called on stakeholders to contribute to the success of the project.
Alhaji Alhassan Sulemana Gonje, the Board Chairman of the Yendi Government Hospital, said the project was timely and essential, considering the increasing number of women demanding fistula care in the area.
