Attendance at the Out Patients Department of the facility, which serves about 25,000 people in 22 communities, has increased making it difficult for staff to attend to pregnant women in labour.
The doctor in charge of the health center, Dr. Castro Adu Obeng revealed this to Adom News.
According to him, medical staff are forced to administer treatment on benches, chairs and on the floor.
He said the facility was also lacking in furniture and the source of drinking water is also in a bad state.
Dr. Obeng indicated that residents, both males, and females sometimes have no option than to share one ward which has only four beds.
Assembly member for the area, Aremeyaw Amadu, told Adom News the facility has twenty-four nurses and four midwives and a General Doctor but has only a 3 room nurses' bungalow, a situation he describes as very worrying.
He stated that the health center has enough land for the construction of wards and workers' bungalows and therefore appealed to the government to help construct adequate facilities.
