The Kabaka Foundation Ghana has officially handed over a newly constructed Antenatal and Postnatal Care Unit facility to the Ashongman Reproductive & Child Health (RCH) Post under the Ga East Municipal Health Directorate in the Greater Accra Region.
The new facility, which forms part of the Foundation’s Health Infrastructure Provision Programme, is expected to massively improve access to quality maternal and child healthcare services for residents of Ashongman and neighbouring communities.
The unit, now fully operational, will provide essential services for pregnant women, nursing mothers, and newborns, helping to ensure safer deliveries, regular antenatal check-ups, postnatal care, and child welfare services.
Executive Director of Kabaka Foundation Henry Larbi described the project as a vital intervention aimed at safeguarding the health and well-being of mothers and their babies.
“With this unit now operational,” a spokesperson from Kabaka Foundation stated, “mothers and their babies can receive timely, safe, and dignified care — a critical foundation for any thriving society.”
“The Foundation extends its deepest appreciation to all supporters and partners whose dedication and contributions made this vital intervention possible” Said Henry Larbi.
Together, we are building healthier futures — one community at a time.
Kabaka Foundation continue to significantly contribute to Ghana’s healthcare sector with a number of project interventions.
In September 2023, the foundation handed over to the Eastern Regional Hospital, a 80-bed capacity multipurpose Neonatal Intensive Care Unit(NICU) which consists of high dependency, low dependency, stable, and isolation ward, Kangaroo Mother Care Excellence Centre with 10-bed capacity in-patient adaptation and hostel for mothers.
The initiatives aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3, which focuses on ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all.
By improving maternal and child health services, the Foundation aims to help reduce preventable deaths and enhance healthcare delivery in underserved communities.
