The Lambussie District Health Administration has held its 2026 Half-Year Performance Review Meeting with a strong call for collaboration among stakeholders to improve healthcare delivery across the district.
Delivering his welcome address, the District Health Director, Mr. Jerdu Bin-eranaa Nuhu, applauded Civil Society Organizations and development partners for their continuous support in strengthening healthcare services. He noted that their contributions have significantly helped in improving health delivery in the Lambussie District.
Speaking on key challenges confronting the sector, Mr. Nuhu highlighted inadequate accommodation for health staff as a major barrier to quality healthcare delivery. According to him, the lack of decent housing continues to affect staff motivation and retention, especially in rural communities.
Despite the challenges, he acknowledged efforts being made to motivate health workers. He specifically praised the health staff awards scheme instituted by the Member of Parliament for Lambussie, Hon. Prof. Titus K. Beyuo, describing it as a strong source of encouragement that has boosted morale among health personnel.
The meeting was held under the theme “United for Health: Advancing Free Primary Healthcare – The Role of Stakeholders” on August 5, 2026, at the Lambussie District Community Library.
The event brought together key stakeholders including representatives from the Ghana Ambulance Service, National Health Insurance Authority, Agricultural Department, traditional authorities, environmental health officers, development partners, and the media.
In an address delivered on behalf of the District Chief Executive by the Deputy District Coordinating Director, Mr. Safianu Iddrisu, government’s commitment to improving healthcare infrastructure in the district was reaffirmed. Several ongoing and completed projects were highlighted, including the construction and furnishing of CHPS compounds at Leiro and Muoteng, a CHPS facility with staff accommodation at Buu, a medical theatre at Hamile Polyclinic, nurses’ quarters at Kpare, and a rural clinic at Piina.
The review meeting served as a platform to assess progress made in the first half of the year and to strengthen partnerships aimed at achieving accessible and quality healthcare for all residents in the Lambussie District.
