The Vanguard : Upgraded CBC Health Center starts Big in Ndu

The population of Ndu, and its environment now have a heave of relieve following the introduction of improved Health Services in the Ndu CBC health center. The Notion of covering long distances and bearing risk rushing to Kumbo- Bui Division for health services is now in oblivion as the health center now play host to a resident Doctor and introduction of many new improved Health Services.

Although the center still has the status of a Health Center, the activities currently going on in the Center is far beyond those of a Health Center. The vanguard has been hinted.

Since the beginning of this year 2022, the center is said to have carried out 54 Minor surgeries and 35 Major surgeries.

Besides regular consultations, the center now runs full scale Eyes and Dental services, Physiotherapy, a comprehensive Laboratory, ultrasound for pregnant women etc.

The Health Center is expected to serve the entire Donga Mantung Division and some parts of Bui Division notably Noni Sub Division like Lassin, Nkor, Mbinon villages said to be closer to Ndu.

The 21^st century CBC gift to the population of the entire Division is expected to improve lives and reduce death rates most often orchestrated by bad roads, long distances and the cost of staying in Kumbo to take care of the sick ones.

One Nformi Emmanauel Shey a native of Ndu Sub Division told The vanguard that he lost his father years back because of the distance “ I had to cover, taking him from Ndu to Kumbo”. Besides, he stated the stretch of road between Ndu and kumbo is appalling. The road he said is usually very dusty in the Dry season, moody and slippery in the wet season especially in the months of July to September.

“Transporting the sick to Kumbo for medical care has always been problematic as some patients even die on their way to the hospital due to bad road and long distances”. He said. He described the decision of the CBC Health Board to step the health services of the Ndu Health Center “a 21^st Century gift”. He hailed those conceived idea while praying God to give them more wisdom like that of the Biblical King Solomon.
