Bomdwen CHPs
Bosuso health centre
Hemang CHPs
Ehiamenkyene CHPs
Nkankama CHPs

Dr Amaning used the opportunity to advise the general public, particularly the citizenry of fanteakwa south to enhance their hygiene protocols and also avoid stigmatization.

“I presented 6 infrared thermometers and two gallons on hand sanitizers to compliment the earlier donation to the health directorate so that the remaining health centres and CHP compounds in fanteakwa south would also benefit from the donation so they can be well prepared in attending to patients so as to help them prevent and control the coronavirus spread. Let no one stigmatize anyone. If health workers are tracing contacts, let them not feel we are abandoning them. If that happens they would feel rejected and some may even hide themselves even if they experience covid-19 symptoms till a majority of the household is infected.” Dr Amaning stated.
