...donated $1.3 Million So Far
The Japanese ambassador to Ghana, Mrs.Kazuko Asai, has stated that the government of Japan is concerned about the insufficient situation of health care in Ghana and as such since the inception of its grassroots grants aid programme, their government has extended over $1.3 million to rural communities to support their efforts to improve health care situation.
She added that most of the assisted projects cover all the 10 regions of Ghana and the health posts are improving the health care situation in individual areas.
Mrs. Asai said this when she signed a grant contract with Savannah Integrated Rural Development Aid for the construction of additional ward for the Tamale West End Hospital in the Gukpelgu/ Sabonjida constituency of the northern region.
She noted that the objectives of the project are to provide facilities that would enhance effective health care, reduce congestion in over crowded wards, enhance efficiency among workers and enable the hospital admit more patients in need of medical attention.
The project co-ordinator of Savannah Integrated Rural Development; Mr. David Sule, who represents the beneficiary community, expressed their sincere gratitude to the government of Japan.
He assured the government that they would make good use of the ward when it is completed and hoped that it would go a long way to help the constituents and inevitably lead to the overall development of the area.
The Member of Parliament of the area, Mustapha Ali Idris, was grateful to the Japan Government for the grant. He pledged his personal supervision for the project to run smoothly. The project will cost $53,123 which is about ?435.6million.
In another development, another signing ceremony was held between the Japanese government and the Boso Secondary Technical Parent Teacher Association to construct a six-classroom block for the school.
The ambassador said since they are conscious of promoting quality education, they are glad to sponsor the project. She added that recognising education as the essential key to development, the government of Japan is convinced that the school needs additional classroom blocks in order to give educational opportunities to more students in the region.
She announced that the idea of initiating the GGP programme is to alleviate poverty in the rural communities as well as encourage them to exercise self-help initiatives to develop those areas.
She was of the hope that the grant will be utilised wisely to enable the people who are currently learning under deplorable conditions to have decent classrooms.
The headmaster of the school pledged that the grant would be used to complete the classroom block before the next academic year in order to increase the number of admissions.
This project is supposed to cause $54,296 which is about ?5439.8 million
