Talensi health facilities

The District's functioning health facilities include a small hospital, six health centres with staff accommodation, seven CHPS compounds with staff accommodation and 16 CHPS clinics in temporary or community loaned structures. As the District Health Service has no budget for capital projects, all recent buildings have been financed from other sources, mainly international donors. A small Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, financed by one of Ghana's banks, opened in 2019. There are two large donated health centre buildings that stand empty, Santeng because because there are no staff to run it and Wakii because the money has run out well short of completion.  Many of the clinic buildings are in a poor state of repair and most don't have running water or electricity. These photos give you a flavour of  what is available.
