The Chairman of the 4th Anniversary Celebration Planning Committee, Jacob Nii\u00a0Attram\u00a0Yartey, explained to citifmonline.com<\/strong> that the reason for opening up the facility to residents was \u201cto break the fear of hospitals which many people seem to have.<\/p>\n

“Today, we have opened our doors so that they can ask any question bothering them and find out what we do here. We also want the children who may want to work in a hospital in the future to know the other options available besides being a doctor or a nurse.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last\u00a0Friday\u00a0May 26, Muslim staff of the polyclinic represented the facility at the Nungua Mosque to offer thanks to Allah for the journey so far.<\/p>\n
