The Sasekpe Health Centre, located in the Central Tongu District, continues to encounter significant challenges during the rainy season, as the facility experiences flooding whenever heavy rains occur.
According to local residents, this issue is not a recent development. Annually, floodwaters inundate the health centre, complicating access for both patients and healthcare workers. The situation is exacerbated by the presence of snakes, which are frequently observed moving through the floodwaters surrounding the facility.
This persistent issue raises serious concerns regarding the safety of patients and staff, as well as the quality of healthcare delivery within the community during this time. Residents are urging the appropriate authorities to promptly assess the situation and implement sustainable measures to prevent the annual flooding. Many are questioning why a permanent solution has not been established, despite the problem persisting year after year.
Who bears the responsibility for addressing this situation? The people of Sasekpe deserve answers and, more importantly, a permanent resolution.
