Acheampong told YEN.com.gh they raised GH¢7,000 on Thursday, March 31, to begin construction work to expand the Agyata CHPS Zone.

''We have expanded the health facility and painted it to give it a facelift. Work is still ongoing to give the place a befitting look.

''But, at the moment, the funds we raised for the project are finished; we don't have a place where patients can ease themselves. We need people to donate. We still need help to complete the project,'' he said.

He shared some photos of the ongoing work with YEN.com.gh.
