Last week, Tegbi Birthing Clinic held an opening ceremony for its new birthing ward, which was funded through African Adventures Foundation.<\/h2>\n

The Health Director of the Anloga Health Directorate, community leaders, chiefs, staff, and some patients attended the opening ceremony of Tegbi Birthing Clinic\u2019s new ward, which will provide a safe, hygienic, and comfortable place for local women to give birth.<\/p>\n

Each month, around 80 women come to the clinic to give birth but 75% of these cannot afford the fee for their stay. The clinic is a lifeline for many women who cannot afford the higher costs for the local hospital and want the safety of being supported throughout their labour.<\/p>\n

Along with funding the construction of the new ward, African Adventures Foundation has provided new maternity beds and an air conditioning unit.<\/p>\n

With only a four-bed patient detention room and a constant turnover of patients, space has been severely limited. Now, with the construction of a new ward, the clinic will be able to support more women, ensuring safer and more dignified births. In Ghana\u2019s intense heat, where temperatures regularly soar, giving birth can be incredibly uncomfortable experience. The installation of air conditioning units will provide much needed relief, helping mothers focus on what truly matters- the safe arrival of their babies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe new ward and facilities at Tegbi Clinic look amazing and we are delighted that new mothers now have a safe and comfortable space to birth and care for their newborns. It is thanks to generous grant support that this project has been possible, and we look forward to seeing the impact on those in the local area who rely on the support of the clinic.\u201d Rachel Northover, Foundation Manager.<\/p>\n
