Ream Maternal Health Centre opens at Dzorwulu

CHILDAccra, an Accra-based medical facility dedicated to the well-being of children, has added a new centre to its fold. The new centre, dubbed: “The Ream Maternal Health Centre for Women and Children,” is aimed at providing quality care for women from pregnancy to birth as well as supporting families in building healthy lifestyles.

The facility, which is situated at Dzorwulu in Accra, has been named after Victoria Jane Ream, a humanitarian and philanthropist.
It has been established to honour her vision and dedication to quality health care for women and children.

Among the services for women, the Ream Centre will provide sexually transmitted disease treatment, pregnancy testing, prenatal care, health education, birth control sterilisation and mammogram referral among others.

The facility’s already-existing childcare services, including immunisations, malaria treatment and prevention, routine preventive exams as well as nutrition and safety education, would continue to be offered.

Speaking at a brief ceremony to officially commission the Ream Centre, Dr Juliette M. Tuakli (MD MPH), a paediatrician and the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of CHILDAccra, reiterated the commitment of her outfit in providing childcare and maternal healthcare services for visitors to the centre.
