The Health Center at Yagha in the Jirapa municipality of the Upper West Region is in dire need of infrastructure to operate as a standard health center.
The in-charge of the health center, Ernest Adablah in an interview says the facility lacks beds, detention rooms, laboratories among others.
He says lack of accommodation facilities for staff and equipment are the other challenges, which needed to be addressed in earnest.
The Assemblyman of the area revealed that the facility which was established in 1971 had no known project from any government.
According to him, the community had been initiated through the support of the queen mother of the area to construct a laboratory and detention rooms for the health center.
He calls on government and other stakeholders to come to their aid and support their agenda.
