The Minister for Energy, Dr John Abdulai Jinapor, has inspected ongoing construction works on a modern multipurpose maternity centre in Yapei, located in the Yapei-Kusawgu Constituency of the Savannah Region.
The proposed healthcare facility is expected to significantly improve access to quality maternal and newborn healthcare services in the constituency and surrounding communities when completed.
The modern maternity centre will provide specialised maternal and neonatal care, including round-the-clock medical monitoring, emergency obstetric services and essential healthcare support for pregnant women, mothers and newborn babies.
The facility is also expected to provide comprehensive medical assistance before, during and after childbirth, helping to reduce pregnancy-related complications and improve maternal and infant survival rates.
Dr Jinapor described the project as an important investment in the health and well-being of women and children, stressing the need to expand access to quality healthcare infrastructure across the Yapei-Kusawgu Constituency.
He emphasised that no woman should lose her life while giving birth because of inadequate medical facilities and that every newborn deserves access to proper healthcare and a healthy start in life.
The Energy Minister reaffirmed his commitment to ensuring the timely completion of the maternity centre, noting that the project forms part of broader efforts to promote community development and improve living conditions for residents.
Upon completion, the facility is expected to strengthen healthcare delivery in Yapei and provide essential maternal and neonatal services to families within the constituency.
The project is another important step towards improving healthcare infrastructure, reducing maternal mortality and ensuring safer childbirth for women in the Savannah Region.
Dr Jinapor reiterated his commitment to supporting development initiatives that will contribute to a healthier, stronger and more prosperous Yapei-Kusawgu Constituency.
