The Zuarungu Health Centre in the Bolgatanga East District of the Upper East Region urgently needs a surgical theatre-a situation that is hindering healthcare delivery and endangering lives.
Currently operating without a theatre, the facility is unable to perform critical surgical procedures such as cesarean sections, emergency operations, and other essential interventions.
As a result, patients-particularly expectant mothers, accident victims, and others in critical condition-are often referred to distant facilities, especially the Upper East Regional Hospital in Bolgatanga.
These referrals lead to delays that sometimes prove fatal.
