Ho Assembly commissions 7 development projects to improve healthcare and education

The Ho Municipal Assembly has handed over 7 completed development projects in selected communities across the municipality as part of efforts to strengthen healthcare delivery and improve educational infrastructure.

The projects were commissioned through a joint exercise involving the Municipal Chief Executive, Hon. Stephen Adom; the Member of Parliament for Ho Central, Hon. Edem Kofi Kpotosu; and the Volta Regional Minister, Hon. James Gunu.

The beneficiary communities are Tokokoe, Nyive, Shia Senior High Technical School, Atiyinu, Hodzo Alavanyo, Matse and Ziavi Bamefedo.

The completed facilities include Community-based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) compounds, nurses' quarters, a three-unit classroom block, a six-unit classroom block and a 12-unit classroom block at Shia Senior High Technical School.

Financed through the District Assemblies Common Fund (DACF), the projects are expected to address key infrastructure gaps and bring essential services closer to residents, particularly those in communities far from the municipal capital.

The new health facilities are expected to ease access to primary healthcare, especially for residents who previously had to travel considerable distances to receive medical attention during emergencies and other health-related situations.

The classroom blocks are also expected to provide improved teaching and learning conditions for both students and teachers.

The commissioning was organised in phases, with the Assembly indicating that several other completed projects are still awaiting official commissioning.

Chiefs and residents of the beneficiary communities welcomed the interventions and expressed appreciation to the Municipal Assembly, the MP, the Regional Minister and the NDC government for extending development projects to their areas.

They described the facilities as important additions to their communities, expressing optimism that the projects would improve living conditions and support local socio-economic development.
