Atibie (E/R), Dec. 26, GNA – The Nkawkaw Holy Family
Hospital and the Kwahu Government Hospital at Atibie recorded 14
deliveries on Christmas day. Eight babies made up of four boys and four girls were delivered
at the Holy Family Hospital at Nkawkaw in the Kwahu West
Municipality while five boys and a girl were delivered at the Kwahu
Government Hospital at Atibie in the Kwahu South District. One of the deliveries was through caesarean operation at the
Kwahu Government Hospital. Ms Catherine Abankwa, Midwifery Supervisor in charge of the
Labour Ward of the Kwahu Government hospital, told the GNA
that the absence of maternal mortality among the women was due to
the fact they attended antenatal clinics regularly. She appealed to pregnant women to take advantage of the
government’s free delivery programme to attend antenatal clinics
regularly to ensure safe delivery.
