The New Patriotic Party Member of Parliament for
Dormaa East, William Kwasi Sabi, has promised to help nurses who accept postings
to the villages to help improve health care in the constituency.
According to him, nursing is a voluntary
and committed job, but the nurses need encouragement to give out all their best
in providing services to the people.
Mr. Sabi who mentioned this in an interaction with
pressmen in Sunyani disclosed that people living in rural areas are mostly the
poorest and therefore have high record of different diseases that is why it is
important for health professionals to be close to them.
He advised nurses not to look at the luxurious
life in the towns and cities but rather accept postings to the villages to help
the poor people that need their services most.
Mr. Sabi called on nurses to make sure their
services are extended to any part of the country where people need health care since
that is the basis of their training
The MP who is also the first NHIS Boss in Brong
Ahafo said taking care of people’s health is not an easy task that is why
nurses should be given all the respect they need especially those serving in
the villages.
The health economist who is serving his first term
in Parliament used the opportunity to promise his constituents that he will do
everything within his power to help bring development to the people to release
them from the burden they are going through with regards to access to health
care.
