The residents of Dabillipuo, a farming community in the Wa East District, are appealing to the Ghana Health Service (GHS) and the District Assembly to help provide the needed facilities to enhance access to maternal healthcare services in the community.
They said the lack of a labour room at the Community-based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) compound was impeding access to quality maternal healthcare services, including skilled delivery.
Andrews Dari Dagil, a health community volunteer at Dabillipuo, made the appeal in an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA).
He indicated that pregnant women at Dabillipuo and surrounding communities who depended on the CHPS facility sometimes went through a great ordeal during childbirth.
