For years, pregnant women in Seinua and nearby communities have faced the challenge of walking or travelling long distances to the nearest health facility, risking their lives and that of their unborn babies.
Residents of the rural community, especially pregnant women, will no longer have to endure the stress of travelling several kilometres on deplorable roads to Goaso and Asumura to access healthcare.

The Chief of Seinua, Nana Agyemang Duah Katakyie lll, with support from his subchiefs based in the United States of America, has commissioned a fully furnished maternity block to bring essential healthcare right to the doorstep of his people.
The maternity block has a scanning ward, store and consulting rooms, kids wards, a laboratory, adolescent corner, wellness clinic, labour wards, and wash rooms, among other units.
The new facility also comes with modern delivery beds, recovery rooms, and essential medical equipment aimed at improving maternal and newborn care.

Healthcare workers say the facility will not only reduce maternal and infant mortality but also encourage regular antenatal visits.
Dr Carmen-Ward Sullivan of the Samuel Merritt Nursing University in California in the USA, who is also the Development Queenmother of Seinua, in her address, said the commissioning of the first ever maternity block is a historic monument for the people.
According to her, other members of the team in the United States of America share the joy with residents of Seinua and the luxury of being part of the transformative achievement.
“This clinic is a place where mothers will be cared for with dignity, and the community’s future generations will be welcomed to the world in safety and in love,” she emphasised.
Dr Carmen-Ward Sullivan, also with the stool name Nana Ama Manu, noted that the commissioning brings them joy to contribute to the realisation of a facility that will nurture life, hope and health in Seinua.
The Development Queenmother expressed optimism that the maternity block will be an avenue of joy, unity and respect among residents, healthcare workers and patients.
Nana Agyemang Duah Katakyie III, the Chief of Seinua, very elated, expressed gratitude to his subchiefs based in the United States of America for throwing their support behind the construction and furnishing of the maternity block.
“I witnessed the stress my people, especially pregnant women, pass through to access healthcare in very distant venues. I consulted my subchiefs abroad, and they heeded to my appeal to support the establishment of this facility,” he stated.
The Chief urged healthcare workers posted to the maternity block to embark on routine maintenance of the facility to ensure it is in good condition always.
Dr Kwadwo Ansong, the Asunafo South District Director of Ghana Health Service, who received the facility, expressed gratitude to Nana Agyemang Duah Katakyie III and his subchiefs, who are Americans, for their contribution to healthcare delivery in the area.
He promised to post committed and experimental healthcare givers to enhance the smooth operation of the maternity block, indicating that “regular maintenance of the facility will be our priority”.
The Ahafo Regional Minister, Charity Gardiner, for her contributions to the project, promised to enrol residents of Seinua onto the National Health Insurance Scheme for free adding that a healthy community is a wealthy community.”
Adjoa Yeboah, a pregnant woman in Seinua, expressed joy for the realisation of the health facility adding that “we will no longer travel to Goaso and Asumura to attend antenatal and also give birth”.
The people of Seinua are hopeful that this new maternity block will not only improve access to healthcare but also help build a healthier future for mothers and babies in the area.
