Mr Hasan called on the members and the elders of the community to take good care of the facility as there would be a grand inauguration of all the facilities when the construction was fully completed.
Madam Afful indicated that the facility was more than a clinic, and that they would proceed with the necessary documentations to upgrade the level when health workers relocated to the facility.
“I am very surprised at the speed and quality with which the facility was built and ready for occupation.
We are indeed grateful to Qatar Charity for this all-important edifice,” the health director added.

The chief implored Mr Owda to extend his appreciation and best regards to the Qatar Charity headquarters in Qatar to let them know that the people of Kadewaso are grateful for the gift.

He thanked Ishak Bekoe who had bought and donated large tracts of land for the clinic and the Dar ElSalaam project to be constructed.
The Assembly man of Kadewaso, Emmanuel Annoh, thanked the organisation for the good work it was doing in the community.
