 The Paramount Queen mother of Great Ningo Traditional Area, Naana Dugbakuwor Dugba II has donated assorted Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to the Community-based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) Compound in the entire traditional area.

The gesture, according to her, was to help healthcare workers in all the CHPS com­pound execute their services without PPE.

Considering Great Ningo Traditional Area a developing community, the Paramount Queen mother appealed to the Ministry of Health and stakeholders in the health sector not to forget the traditional area when dis­tributing health projects that would benefit the inhabitants of Great Ningo.

She bemoaned how some healthcare workers aban­doned the Traditional Area due to its low pace of devel­opment.

She called for more de­velopment projects in the area as a means of creating avenues for employment and generating revenue for the nation.

She observed that, the cooperation between the inhabitants and healthcare workers had been cordial and that was commendable.

Naana Dugbakuwor Dugba II commended the COVID-19 Trust Fund for giving out the PPE to promote healthcare delivery in the area.

“I will ensure the PPE donated to all the CHPS compound would be used for the intended purpose”, she assured.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.

He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.

Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.

The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
