AKPAFU COMMUNITY CLINIC

Akpafu Community is a remote community located in the Sefwi Wiawso District of the Western Region. The people for a long time relied on traditional health attendants and local drug peddlers for all their health needs. The closest health facility is located in the district capital, Wiawso, which is very far from the town. The lack of a health post manned by qualified personnel adversely affected health care delivery in the town in many ways.

Ghanaman provided funds for the completion of a health post started by the community members. The Ghana Health Service in the district has subsequently posted personnel to the new facility who now carry out weighing of babies, immunization, antenatal and other minor health cases.
