Health workers at Nyankwanzi Health Centre III in Mabira Town Council are playing a critical role in transforming healthcare delivery and improving the well-being of communities across Kyenjojo District.
During a monitoring visit to assess health service delivery, it was observed that frontline health workers continue to provide essential services ranging from health education on sanitation, nutrition, family planning, HIV prevention, and disease control to the implementation of national immunisation programmes aimed at protecting communities from preventable illnesses.
“The commitment of our health workers at community level is essential in ensuring that people access quality healthcare services closer to where they live. Their work in prevention, immunisation, and maternal and child health is helping to improve the lives of our people,” said Allan Bamuha, the Deputy Resident District Commissioner (RDC) of Kyenjojo District.
The health workers are also providing vital maternal and child health services, including antenatal care, safe deliveries, and postnatal support, which are key in reducing maternal and infant mortality rates.
Their efforts have helped reduce the burden on district and regional referral hospitals by ensuring that many health needs are addressed within local communities.
Strengthening rural healthcare systems and supporting community-based health initiatives remain central to improving livelihoods and advancing sustainable development in Kyenjojo District and beyond.
