The Pentecost Clinic at Yawmatwa, located in the Essam-Debiso Area of The Church of Pentecost, marked a significant milestone on October 2, 2025, with the official inauguration of its Eye Unit.
The ceremony brought together church leaders, healthcare professionals, and members of the local community to celebrate this important expansion of the clinic’s services.
The new facility was commissioned by the Essam-Debiso Area Head of the church, Pastor Frank Awuah Fordjour. Present to assist him were Pastor Patrick Denkyi Asante and Pastor Samuel Ntiamoah.
Pastor Fordjour praised the clinic’s management and staff for their commitment, stating that “caring for the health of the people is part of the Church’s Vision 2028.” He encouraged all stakeholders to continue supporting the clinic’s mission to provide holistic care to the community.
After the inauguration, Mrs Precious Nketiah, the ophthalmic nurse in charge of the unit, led a guided tour of the facility. She outlined the range of services to be offered and demonstrated how patients would be examined and treated.
The new unit, equipped with essential instruments for primary eye care, is expected to significantly improve access to eye health services for residents who previously had to travel long distances for treatment.
However, Mrs Nketiah appealed for further support from individuals, organisations, and benevolent groups to help expand the unit’s capacity. She noted that while the current setup meets basic needs, more advanced equipment and resources are required to address the growing demand for specialised eye care in the area.
The inauguration of the Eye Unit symbolised not only the opening of a new facility but also the beginning of a new chapter in accessible and compassionate healthcare for the people of Yawmatwa and its environs.
