GUABULIGA CLINIC COMMISSIONED

The Walewale District Health Directorate, the Catholic Diocese and BRAVEAURORA jointly commissioned the Guabuliga S^t Joseph the Worker Clinic to offer 24 hour health service to the people of Guabuliga and surrounding communities. This dream came to its fullest culmination after four years of hard work, determination, perseverance and focus on the goal. It has taken substantial time investment from the Chief of Guabuliga and BRAVEAURORA whose collective objective has been to offer the best healthcare for the community. This venture was initiated based on the necessity to avoid travelling to Walewale for medical care and its resultant adverse implications.

The largely attended sod-cutting ceremony is a stepping stone to greater health and medical services in Guabuliga, which will also PROVIDE for neighboring communities.

BRAVEAURORA is really proud to demonstrate that once determination and the will to achieve is embedded in the development drive, everything is possible. With this success behind us, the team is poised to do more for the benefit of all communities in the West Mamprusi District.

Accomodation for Health Workers

BRAVEAURORA adopts a catalogue of tried and tested projects in our drive towards poverty alleviation and community development. One of these interventions include the Social Infrastructure programme which is a core pillar of our development model. A central project under this programme is the Guabuliga Clinic Project which seeks to support the full functioning of a clinic in Guabuliga in order to bring health to the doorsteps of the locals. To achieve this, BA has over the years worked with several stakeholders including the Walewale District Health Directorate and Catholic Health Unit towards the realization of the goal. Fortunately, the years of work have finally paid off and the clinic which hitherto ran monthly is set to operate daily. Standing firm to our commitment, BA has refurbished a two-bedroom apartment for the two nurses stationed at the clinic. Meant for teachers, the apartment was uninhabited for years and left to the vagaries of the weather. Now fully renovated, the nurses go about their work with glee knowing they have a decent place to lay their heads after a long day’s work. Below are some shots of the facility.
