Former Deputy Upper West Regional Minister, Mr. Abu K. Kasangbata (popularly known as Abu KK), has pledged to construct a two-bedroom multipurpose accommodation facility for doctors at the local clinic in the Issa community, aimed at addressing longstanding challenges in healthcare delivery.
Mr. Kasangbata made the announcement during a community visit on Friday, where he, alongside Mr. Richard Jakpa, Director of Special Operations at the National Security Secretariat, and the District Chief Executive (DCE), distributed donations to various sections of the community.
Residents raised concerns about the absence of suitable accommodation for medical staff at the clinic, highlighting how this issue hampers effective healthcare services in the district. Moved by the plea, Mr. Kasangbata committed to personally funding and building the facility to support health professionals and improve access to quality care.
In a statement shared on social media, the former minister emphasized his ongoing contributions to development, noting that he has previously funded the construction of party offices in several zones across the constituency, including Issa, Wogu, Kojokpere, and Tabiasi.
“Although I have undertaken several development projects… I have taken this unique opportunity to further support the district in my capacity as a concerned citizen,” he stated, adding, “Together, we can continue to make a positive and lasting impact in our communities.”
Mr. Kasangbata, a prominent National Democratic Congress (NDC) figure and former District Chief Executive of Nadowli District, has a track record of community initiatives in the Upper West Region.
The pledge has been welcomed by locals, who see it as a vital step toward retaining doctors and enhancing healthcare in the rural area. Construction of the facility is scheduled to begin on August 16, 2026.
