Prestea/Huni-valley Constituency: The Change That Came After The 2016 Elections And It’s Impact On The People

The People of Prestea Huni-Valey, on 7th December queued to vote for a positive change. They voted incompetence out and voted competence in. The Good people of Prestea Huni-Valley gave chance to Hon. Barbara Oteng Gyasi to impact them positively.

Two years five month later, we are taking a look at the benefits the change has brought to them.

One of the problems that faced the constituency when Madam Oteng Gyasi took over was access to good health facilities and Public Health Amenities. Due to this, she made the health sector her priority.

Below are some of her achievements;

Renovation of Abosso health centre;

for years, the Abosso Health Centre had not seen the face of any renovation and development. The Center was stuck with old equipment which made the work of the Nurses very difficult and hence, discouraged the people from visiting the health centre. Upon assuming office, Hon. Barbara Oteng Gyasi has renovated the Health Centre by equipping it with Modern Health Equipments and also given the outer appearance of the facility a facelift.

Installation of Incubator at Prestea gov’t hospital.

Hon.Barbara Oteng Gyasi, donated to the Kokorokoo Charity Foundation and pleaded for them to extend their One Hospital One Incubator Donations to her constituency. The Incubator was later installed in the hospital to serve the people of Prestea.

Construction of CHPS compound with nurses' quarters at Insu Siding, Gyimakrom, Adadekrom, Bobkrom, Larbikrom, Camp, Okyerekojo, Akurakan, Bisakrom, Beppo, Ehyieso and Kofiekrom. Over the years, residents of these communities struggled to access health care – with some travelling to Bogoso, the district capital or Prestea, about 30 kilometers away. The project, championed by the Member of Parliament of the Prestea-Huni Valley Constituency, Mrs Barbara Oteng–Gyasi, would reduce the burden of the nine communities in accessing critical health care and emergencies.

Construction of municipal hospital at Bogoso. Government chose to build an additional hospital at the Municipal Capital (Bogoso) while making sure that the existing Prestea Government Hospital is given a facelift to provide optimal care to the good people of Prestea Huni-Valley Constituency. This is the first hospital ever at Bogoso.

Hon.Barbara Oteng Gyasi also took care of the hospital bills for a constituent who was undergoing treatment for a Hole In Heart.

The People of Prestea are grateful for your good work and massive development you’ve brought to Prestea Huni-Valley Constituency.
