en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Mfantseman Saltpond Development Alliance (MSDA), a community-led development group, has commissioned a 50,000-capacity Automated Water Supply System at the Saltpond Municipal Hospital in Ghana to address the facility's long-standing water shortage.
Speaking at the commissioning ceremony, MSDA Chairman Mr. Ernest De-Graft Egyir stated that the initiative aims to support the provision of quality healthcare services, infection prevention, sanitation, patient care, and the daily work of professional medical staff. The organization emphasized that development is too important to be left solely to the government, and every citizen should contribute to building their community.
Mr. De-Graft Egyir noted that providing a sustainable water project will benefit future generations and serves as proof that "when citizens unite under a common goal, extraordinary things become possible." He said: "Our vision is to position Saltpond as one of Ghana's leading centers for tourism, investment, culture, youth development, and community-led transformation." Under Mr. De-Graft Egyir's leadership, MSDA has also advocated for the construction of a Hospital Hostel to provide comfortable accommodation for medical staff, visiting health workers, and families of patients receiving treatment at the Saltpond Municipal Hospital.
Mr. De-Graft Egyir stated that MSDA is committed to collaborating with all stakeholders who share the group's vision of building a modern, prosperous, inclusive, and sustainable Saltpond. "By investing in healthcare, sanitation, education, youth empowerment, tourism, environmental sustainability, recreation, entrepreneurship, and community infrastructure, we can transform Saltpond together." He called on traditional authorities, institutions, religious groups, businesses, development partners, and the diaspora to actively participate in shaping the future of the Mfantseman Municipality.
Dr. John Moses Wireku, Medical Superintendent of the Saltpond Municipal Hospital, stated that for decades, the Saltpond Hospital—the second oldest in Ghana—had struggled with the municipality's chronic water shortage. He praised MSDA's visionary leadership and its initiative, noting that the support from Mr. De-Graft Egyir and his team has properly resolved this issue, and said the water project will directly support healthcare services for thousands of people in Mfantseman and surrounding areas.
