<\/p>\nCiti TV and Citi FM, in collaboration with the Ghana Chamber of Mines, have unveiled a state-of-the-art health centre in Mepe, situated within the North Tongu Constituency of the Volta Region.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The completion of this facility comes as a relief to residents, particularly those affected by the aftermath of floods resulting from the Akosombo dam spillage, which occurred in October last year.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The floods had a profound impact on over 13,000 individuals in the North Tongu district, leaving them in urgent need of assistance from government bodies and charitable organizations.<\/p>\n
In addition to the Medical Centre, four housing units have also been constructed to accommodate medical personnel.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
During the inauguration ceremony held on Wednesday, Michael Kofi Zigah, the District Health Director of North Tongu, expressed optimism about the health centre\u2019s role in advancing healthcare accessibility.<\/p>\n
He highlighted its significance in contributing towards attaining the Sustainable Development Goals about healthcare delivery.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\u201cThis comes as a right intervention as one of the post-flood incidents in the district. I say it comes as the best intervention because post-intervention activities, one of the things we were looking out for as a health system is to make sure our people have improved access to quality maternal, neonatal, and child healthcare and to have access to other clinical and public health emergencies just as we experienced a few months ago.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\u201cSo an infrastructure is part of the resources to equip the health system so well that once the communities are displaced, once the community setting is a bit distorted, we are certain that with a health system in place like this continuously, we can provide the services that they require.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a clear manifestation of partnership getting Citi Foundation and all partners on board to get this facility. We want to assure them that this intervention here is going to reflect in the lives of the people of Mepe and North Tongu.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe District Health Directorate and the Ghana Health Service is going to assure them that this facility is going to be put to good use,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
