The Bole Municipal Health Directorate has on Tuesday 3rd March, 2026, held an annual performance review for the year 2025 in Bole the Municipality of the Savannah region.
Addressing participants at the 2025 Annual Performance review the Municipal Director of Health Services Mr. Dubik Daniel Dindiok welcome all stakeholders and said the meeting affords the Directorate the opportunity to interact with major stakeholders for quality health delivery in the Municipality.
Mr. Dubik Daniel stated that the year 2025 started with glittering hope that the service will execute its mandate by all means, and improve on performance or otherwise maintain, to keep the populates we serve healthy for wealth creation.
The year 2025 started with what can be described as poor and inadequate health infrastructure, inadequate equipment, inadequate and erratic supply of drug and non-drug consumables, weak and inadequate transport to support service delivery, increased demands for motivation by staff, and worsening incidence of indiscipline to mention but few.
I am glad to mention we have improved in a number of service delivery indicators including our maternal, neonatal and child health indicators as follows:
Increased in ANC coverage from 124.6% in 2024 to 143% in 2025, Increased in first trimester ANC registrants from 59% in 2024 to 60% in 2025, Increased in IPT3 coverage from 22.2% in 2024 to 36.9% in 2025, Increased in skilled deliveries from 87.5% in 2024 to 96.1% in 2025, Reduction in institutional maternal mortality ratio from 156.81/ 100,000 live births in 2024 to 19.68/100,000 live births in 2025
We have also seen steady improvement in:
basic quality healthcare services is a right of everyone in Ghana and for that matter Bole district. As Management, we do not know how we can bring the vulnerable populations from Babator and Chibrinyo to Bamboi, or from Kui and other communities in the far south east to Tinga or yet from Cloth, to Dakurpe or Bole. But we have a duty and we should know that at all cost how to send healthcare service through the strategic
It saddens me to mention that the service in this district is saddled with certain challenges which are beyond the immediate fix of management.
The Health Directorate is still squatting in a constricted workspace not fit for purpose, managing over-aged pickups for both the Health Directorate, Bamboi polyclinic and Ag Regional Hospital – Bole.
We are struggling with dilapidated and very small CHPS compounds in Kakiase, Kwame Kwesi and Seripe, long long overdue for renovation and expansion.
Madam Chairperson, these challenges the critical they are needs immediate fix to befit the status of the district thus the home district of the President of Ghana – His Excellency President John Dramani Mahama. Madam Chairperson, not to sound political but the truth is that, this is the opportune time for them to fix some of these challenges and the time is now or never.
