Nurses
at Apoli, Akotekroom, Kokobeng and Duokon, Health Centers in Birim
South District have resort to using torch lights and lamps to deliver
babies due to lack of electricity.
According to reports, most of
the health centers in the area have no electricity and those with
electricity are also having challenges with the erratic power supply,
which is affecting health delivery.
In an interview with Adom
FM’s reporter Kwasi Azor, the District Director of Health Services in
Birim South, Vida Afua Afful, said the situation is unbearable.
“We
are really suffering in this town, pregnant mothers who come at night
are supposed to be delivered with the use of torch lights and lamps
which is very dangerous.
Vida Afua Afful made these revelations
during their Annual performance review 2014 at Akyem swedru. She was
however optimistic that her outfit would work harder to improve upon
health delivery systems in the town.
Vida Afful appealed to
traditional leaders, NGOs and philanthropists to provide them generators
and solar panels for effecitive health delivery. |
