Mr George Asante, Assistant Health Assistant of the Kasoa Health Centre, has appealed to the government to expand the facility to meet the demand of the increasing number of patients.He said the centre built in 1983 to cater for the 2,000 population in Kasoa, now render services to 62,000 people from 61 communities.Mr Asante who was speaking to the Ghana News Agency said the 102 medical staff is also over stretched.He said the strategic position of Kasoa made it imperative for government to expand the facility to attend to the number of motor accident victims on the main Cape Coast-Accra Road.Mr Asante said the average delivery of babies per month was 300.He said the centre had only nine beds to cater for the expectant mothers compelling some of them to sleep on the floor.Mr Asante said some of the personnel of the medical facility had to travel very far to work because there are only three bungalows available.He said the frequent cases the centre attended to were malaria, respiratory infection, skin diseases, gastro intestinal track infections, diarrhoea, injuries from accident victims, anaemia, hypertension and rheumatism.Mr Asante called for an ambulance, means of transport and a dispensary to boost health delivery.Source: GNA
