Gomoa East District Assembly on Wednesday, 8^th December, 2021, commissioned a CHPS compound at Gomoa Dampase.

The purpose of the project is to bring health care to the doorstep of people around to serve their health needs and to also prevent them from going a long distant to access healthcare.

He appealed to Traditional Authorities to assist in providing accommodation for staff and security particularly at night for health staff and called on the physical planning unit of the assembly to see to a property whose fence wall is cited in the path to the facility to ensure it is properly cited.

He appealed to health staff posted to the facility to make it attractive to people in the area to ensure the health needs of the people are met by being kind and caring to them. And charged the traditional authorities to mark boundaries of the land around the project for future expansion.

The District Health Director, Felix Adepari, appealed to traditional leaders in the area to make life comfortable for staff who will be posted to Mann the facility and to secure the land to prevent encroachment for expansion to serve health needs of the growing population.
