Effective healthcare services have become a very worrying challenge for people living in and around Assin Anyinambrim in the Assin South District of the Central Region.
The facility in the area has become the only surviving one serving thousands of inhabitants in the area.
The Assin Anyinabrim Health Center has only nine beds to serve patients within the district which is located in the Central region.
The challenge is exacerbated by the centre’s additional responsibility toward residents of Asikuma Odoben Brakwa District.
The in-charge, Samuel Ayensu who is a Physician Assistant, said the situation is worrying especially when both sexes and the different age groups have to share the same beds and wards.
“When we have men, women and children all on admission, we separate them with screens which creates a lot of inconveniences,” said Samuel Ayensu, adding that the situation is “unhealthy”.
The community has pulled resources together and constructed a storey building to upscale the facility’s service delivery.
