The Paramount Queen mother of Great Ningo Traditional Area, Naana Dugbakuwor Dugba II has donated assorted Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to the Community-based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) Compound in the entire traditional area.
The gesture, according to her, was to help healthcare workers in all the CHPS compound execute their services without PPE.
Considering Great Ningo Traditional Area a developing community, the Paramount Queen mother appealed to the Ministry of Health and stakeholders in the health sector not to forget the traditional area when distributing health projects that would benefit the inhabitants of Great Ningo.
She bemoaned how some healthcare workers abandoned the Traditional Area due to its low pace of development.
She called for more development projects in the area as a means of creating avenues for employment and generating revenue for the nation.
She observed that, the cooperation between the inhabitants and healthcare workers had been cordial and that was commendable.
Naana Dugbakuwor Dugba II commended the COVID-19 Trust Fund for giving out the PPE to promote healthcare delivery in the area.
She thanked Nene Tetteh Banahene III, Acting President of Ningo Traditional Council, the Chiefs and all Elders for their staunch support in making the Traditional Area get facelift through several interventions.
Madam Sylvia Arde-Acquah, Deputy Chief Nursing Officer of Ningo/Prampram District who received the PPE showered praises on the Paramount Queen mother for the intervention which she considered enormous and worthy.
“I will ensure the PPE donated to all the CHPS compound would be used for the intended purpose”, she assured.
