Dambai: The Evangelical Church of Ghana has taken a significant step to address the healthcare needs in the Krachi East Municipality through the construction of a modern hospital in the Israel community of Dambai. This development marks the Church's continued efforts in promoting health, education, and Christianity throughout the region.
According to Ghana News Agency, the hospital is nearing completion, with essential infrastructure such as hospital beds and mattresses already delivered. Various departments are being established, including a theatre, female ward, children ward, male ward, emergency ward, dispensary, outpatient department (OPD), and nurse's offices. This initiative underscores the Church's dedication to enhancing healthcare accessibility.
Bishop John Pang-Moot, the District Pastor of the Church in Krachi East, explained that the hospital seeks to address the Municipality's healthcare challenges, notably the rise in typhoid cases and restricted access to medical services. He mentioned that the facility is close to becoming operational, with a team of medical professionals ready to serve the community.
The Bishop also stated that Dr. Sonlaar Joseph, the medical superintendent of the Church's Kpandai Hospital, has recruited two medical doctors and several nurses to work at the new hospital. Currently, residents often have to travel long distances to places like Worawora, Nkwanta South, Papase, Kete-Krachi, and sometimes even beyond the region for medical care, which often results in complications.
Bishop Pang-Moot emphasized the transformative potential of the hospital, asserting, "The facility will be a gamechanger for our community, we are committed to providing quality healthcare services to the people of Dambai and beyond."
