In a welcoming address, the chief of Kpadjai, Nana Kru Wei II, expressed his appreciation to Grace Baptist Mission for giving his people a clinic to solve some of the difficulties they go through when one is sick.

He explained: "Kpadjai is far from Salaga and to carry the sick patients on bicycles to the hospital at Salaga is a big problem. And so it is a real blessing to have Grace Baptist Clinic established here in Kpadjai".
