Former President John Dramani Mahama inaugurated a newly built maternity ward for the Atebubu Hospital in the Bono East Region.
The maternity ward, fully funded by the leader and presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), is equipped with incubators, ultrasound scan machines, surgical and delivery beds, and other advanced equipment to improve maternal health and delivery for women in the area.
Mr. Mahama stated that the construction of the Nana Owusu Akyeaw Brempong II Maternity Ward is a direct response to a request made by the chief of Atebubu.
He further emphasised that the new facility will guarantee accessible healthcare services to mothers and newborns in the area.
The new facility is equipped to provide maternal and neonatal services, deliveries, and postnatal support.
The former president is confident that the new facility will significantly decrease maternal and infant mortality in the Atebubu area, ensuring safer deliveries and postnatal care.
He thanked the individuals and organisations that sponsored the construction. He acknowledged his wife, Lordina, for her support to ensure the speedy completion of the project.
