TLF Tours Kotoku Health Centre
Bridging Gaps in Healthcare Access
In a concerted effort to uphold its commitment to providing accessible healthcare to the less privileged, The Larbi Foundation (TLF) embarked on a transformative visit to the Kotoku Health Centre. Led by the Executive Director and several executives, the tour aimed to engage with the staff, patients, mothers, and children, shedding light on the challenges faced by the health centre and exploring avenues for support.
The visit commenced with insightful interactions between TLF representatives and the dedicated staff of Kotoku Health Centre. Among the probing questions posed was the establishment date of the centre, to which the response revealed its inception in 2014. Delving deeper, inquiries into the array of services offered uncovered a comprehensive range, spanning from outpatient care to antenatal, delivery, and postnatal services, alongside mental health, family planning, and laboratory facilities.
One crucial revelation was the centre’s status as a public healthcare facility, ensuring accessibility to all members of the community regardless of socioeconomic background. Despite this commendable feat, concerns regarding staffing levels emerged, with indications of personnel attrition due to migration for better opportunities elsewhere. Additionally, discussions unveiled the centre’s round-the-clock operation, a vital lifeline for individuals in need of urgent medical attention.
As discussions unfolded, it became evident that targeted interventions could significantly enhance the quality of care and services provided by Kotoku Health Centre. Priority areas identified included bolstering the labour ward with essential equipment, addressing power supply issues, improving facilities for maternal and child health, and enhancing staff capacity through training and support.
Armed with insights gleaned from the visit, TLF is poised to take concrete steps to support Kotoku Health Centre in its mission to deliver quality healthcare to the community. With a focus on collaboration, innovation, and sustainable impact, TLF is committed to working hand-in-hand with stakeholders to bridge gaps, strengthen healthcare systems, and empower communities to thrive.
In conclusion, TLF’s visit to Kotoku Health Centre serves as a testament to its unwavering commitment to healthcare equity and social responsibility. By forging collaborative partnerships and leveraging resources effectively, TLF endeavors to make tangible strides towards bridging healthcare disparities and fostering healthier, more resilient communities.
