The MP for Adentan, Hon. Mohammed Adamu Ramadan, has commissioned a CHPS (Community-based Health Planning and Services) compound at Foster Home Down in the Adentan Constituency.

Hon. Ramadan further noted that, since assuming office as MP in 2021, he has made it a yearly priority to allocate funds specifically for healthcare, collaborating effectively with the municipal health authorities on the relevant items to provide.

“Since I became MP four years ago, I ensure to make some allocation of my health fund for the public health facilities in my constituency. I ensure to liaise with the municipal health directorate and conduct a needs assessment based on which I procure the needed items for their use,” he stated.

He added that this year’s donation was made from funds allocated in 2023 and encouraged the beneficiary health centres to put the items to good use.
