On several occasions, concerns have been made by the people but still nothing has been done so far. Pregnant women and Children are transported to the Police hospital or nearby health facilities for healthcare if needed. The youth are angry and ready to demonstrate if nothing has been done by the end of this month.

According to Joyce Aryeh, “we have suffered enough from the aftermath of the inadequate health facilities in labadi”. Matching to the government office wouldn’t be too cumbersome for them, they assured the government.

The only health facility available is La polyclinic. The structure is not spacious and not well equipped to render the necessary service to the entire community. The residents expressed that expanding the facility would greatly reduce the stress of accessing healthcare for sick people.

The community urges the ministry of health to include the state of their health facilities in their development program.

According to the Chief of the community, Nii Tettey Kpobi Tsuru , the traditional council have mobilized and raised some funds. However, it is not enough to put up a structure. Instead, they used the funds to renovate the available facility making it little conducive for use.

He added, “traditional council have written to NGOs but we still await their responses.”
