The government has announced plans to construct approximately 600 Community-based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) compounds across the country by the end of 2025, as part of its efforts to expand access to primary healthcare.
Minister of State in Charge of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, said the initiative will see each district constructing two new CHPS compounds this year.
“Each district is required to construct two new CHPS compounds this year. Altogether, that amounts to about 600 CHPS compounds in 2025 alone. If we sustain this momentum, we could exceed 2,000 CHPS compounds over the next four years,” he stated.
Kwakye Ofosu described the move as a major step toward improving healthcare delivery, especially in underserved and rural communities.
