The Moglaa Health Centre in Tamale, the Northern Region's capital, has been refurbished by Izwe Savings & Loans.
The makeover included tiling the exam and delivery rooms, as well as painting the whole health center.
More than 14,000 people are served by the Moglaa Health Centre, which is located in Tarkpaa, Lang, and Zaxi. Because the three National Community Health Planning and Services (CHPS) compounds offering primary healthcare are unable to meet all of the people's healthcare demands, the facility is vital.
"In reality, we provide healthcare to all of the villages." We only have three CHPS compounds, which is insufficient. Mr. Adams, who is also in charge of the area's three schools, said, "We are appreciative for Izwe's cooperation."
Why is there so much support?
The Moglaa Health Centre, which served 12 settlements, was in poor shape. The examining room featured an old cemented floor with fractures, as well as dingy white walls. Cracks may also be found in several of the walls.
Mumuni Adams said Izwe Savings and Loans' help couldn't have come at a better moment, since the fractures in the walls were frightening.
"Midwives always complain that it may fall on them while they're attending to clients," he claimed. We are extremely delighted that Izwe came at the perfect moment to remodel the labor unit and give the institution a makeover."
Another major concern was that livestock, such as goats and cattle, would frequently infiltrate the health center.
The Ghanaian government has built three CHPS complexes in each of the 12 townships, but they are insufficient to manage the massive population. As a consequence, many people continue to come to the Moglaa Health Centre.
Izwe is a company that sells medical goods.
Apart from renovating the Moglaa Health Centre, Izwe Savings and Loans also donated certain healthcare supplies to the institution. These featured blood pressure monitors, brand new patient chairs, and blankets. Mr. Adams stated that one of the BP monitors will be distributed to each of the CHPS compounds in the villages, while the chairs and blankets will be utilized in the primary health center.
"Each CHPS compound will utilize one of the automated BP monitors," he stated, "so it will be quite valuable and supplement our job."
Kpanala Alhassan, a representative of the Chief of Moglaa, said they were pleased to learn that the financial institution was willing to help the health facility.
He stated that Izwe's good deed will live on in their hearts forever. Mr. Alhassan stated that the health facility was extremely beneficial to the community, but that its original state was appalling, adding, "we do not know how to thank Izwe."
Patients' privacy is important.
Because the labor ward had little privacy, passers-by would frequently observe women receiving care. However, as part of the ward's restoration, screens were installed to preserve women's privacy.
"Because of the open openness of the area, anybody passing could see what was going on at the facility," Adam Amina, a pregnant lady, said. "With the refurbishment, we are able to stay in the rooms and have some privacy."
Naa Prince Williams Andani, the Chief of Moglaa, thanked Izwe Savings and Loans for their generosity and hailed the health personnel for their dedication to the people.
This is one of Izwe Savings & Loans' impact tales as it celebrates ten years of business in Ghana.
