The second project, located at Yizeisi is also a 6-bed facility with a delivery room and other auxiliary facilities.

It was completed with funding from the District Assembly Performance Assessment Tool (DPAT).

Each facility is expected to serve over 2000 residents and non-residents within and outside the district.

Speaking at the Commissioning, Mr. Ussif expressed gratitude to the residents for voting for him and helping to retain President Akufo-Addo and Vice President Dr. Bawumia in power.

He also thanked the Vice President for his generous contribution towards development in the Yagaba-Kubori Constituency.
