Bodi: The Sefwi Bodi District Health Directorate has reviewed its 2025 mid-year performance, urging midwives to intensify efforts toward quality maternal care while highlighting infrastructure needs and the rollout of new health access policies.
According to Ghana News Agency, the review was held under the theme: 'Achieving Universal Health Coverage by Network of Practice, the Role of the Midwife.' Mr. Noah Quam, the Bodi District Health Director, appealed to health workers, especially midwives, to ensure that mothers, newborns, and their families have access to safe, skilled, and compassionate care during childbirth. He emphasized that quality maternal care is not just a goal but a fundamental human right.
Mr. Quam announced that the Ghana Health Service (GHS) would soon introduce education and information programs on cancer to inform young people about the disease. He also appealed to the Bodi District Assembly for a well-equipped office space for the Health Directorate, noting that their current office space was insufficient for their needs.
Mr. Lord Duckson, a Public Health Officer at the District Health Directorate, informed officers about the introduction of a policy called a Network of Practice (NOP) by the GHS. This policy aims to ensure that every citizen has access to healthcare services without difficulties within the next five years. As part of this initiative, health facilities will be established in every town or village for easy accessibility, with Amoaya and Suiano health centers selected as referral points for the NOP.
Mr. Stephen Martey, Project Manager for World Vision, a non-governmental organization in the Bodi District, assured the Health Directorate of their commitment to supporting operational improvements.
