The Bryan Acheampong Foundation (BAF) is expanding its impact across underserved communities in the Kwahu enclave as part of its mission to enhance quality of life through access to essential services and long-term development support.
Operating in Kwahu West, Kwahu South, Kwahu East, Afram Plains North and Afram Plains South districts of the eastern region, the Foundation has rolled out a series of targeted some health interventions aimed at improving maternal and child health outcomes. So far, 12,645 infants have received complimentary baby-care packages, while an additional 5,000 women have benefitted from delivery support kits.
The districts continue to grapple with significant challenges, including poor road networks, high transportation costs, widespread poverty and malnutrition. These barriers have contributed to limited access to quality healthcare, placing pregnant women, infants and young children at heightened risk.
To help address these concerns, BAF is implementing a comprehensive Maternal and Child Health (MCH) project featuring key interventions such as:
- Antenatal Clinic (ANC) Support
- Nutritional Support at Child Welfare Clinics (CWC)
- National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) Registration Assistance
The project is structured to strengthen the roles of all stakeholders involved in maternal and child health including health providers, clients and community members ensuring a more coordinated and impactful healthcare delivery system.
According to the Foundation, the initiative forms part of a broader social and behavioral change programme focused on strengthening maternal and child health within the Kwahu East District, one of the areas hardest hit by health service delivery gaps.
The Foundation says its long-term goal is to bridge existing gaps and help build healthier, more resilient communities across its operational districts.
