The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of PM Group of Companies, Mr. Peter Mensah has constructed a Community-based health planning and services (CHIPS) compound at Nkatieso in the Bibiani Anhwiaso Municipality of the Western North Region. 

 

The facility comprising out-patient unit, dispensary, laboratory, consulting rooms, male and female wards, maternity ward, delivery room, and childrens ward was constructed at the cost of GH¢450,000.

 

At a ceremony to hand over the facility to the community through the Ghana Health Services (GHS), Mr. Mensah said the motive behind the facility was to give back to society in order to save the citizens from travelling for many hours to access health care either at Bibiani or Sefwi Bekwai Government Hospitals.

Mr. Mensah urged the chiefs as well as the community leaders to ensure regular maintenance of the facility to preserve it for unborn generations. 

 

Mr. Oheneba Oppong Darko, the Bibiani Municipal Director of the Ghana Health Services (GHS), commended Mr. Peter Mensah for his foresight and said the facility would soon start receiving clients on the National Health Insurance Scheme. 

 

He said his outfit had posted health workers to the centre and urged the community to cooperate with them. 

 

Mr. Oppong Darko appealed to health workers to serve with humility and accord the patients with maximum respect to attract patronage at the centre.

 

The Chief of Sefwi Nketiaso, Nana Kyem Kwasi ll, expressed gratitude to Mr. Peter Mensah for his numerous supports for the community. 

 

He mentioned the renovation of Nketiaso M/A Basic School and JHS, supply of dual desk to students, and drilling of boreholes, among others.

 

He, therefore, appealed to other indigenes to emulate the good works of Mr. Oppong so as to bring more development to the community.
