MP for Yapei-Kusawgu Revamps Yapei Polyclinic and Launches ₵1 Million Annual Tertiary Scholarship for Constituents
As part of his working visit to the Yapei Kusawgu Constituency, Hon. John Abdulai Jinapor, Member of Parliament for the area and Minister for Energy and Green Transition, has reaffirmed his commitment to improving the lives of his people through significant interventions in both healthcare and education.
During a visit to the Yapei Polyclinic followed keenly by Freelance Jounalist, Ananpansah Bartholomew Abraham, the Hon. Minister donated a wide range of essential medical supplies to the facility, aimed at enhancing healthcare delivery and improving patient outcomes. The donated items included hospital beds, wheelchairs, drip stands, delivery beds, and other vital non-consumables.
Hon. Jinapor emphasized that the initiative forms part of his broader commitment to strengthening the healthcare system across the constituency. He charged the management of the facility to put the items to good use and maintain them properly to ensure their longevity and sustained benefit to patients.
In addition, the Minister announced plans to construct a modern theatre for the Yapei Polyclinic, further reinforcing the facility’s capacity to handle complex medical cases and reduce referrals. He also extended financial support of ₵10,000 to the staff welfare fund of the Polyclinic to motivate healthcare workers in their daily service to the community.
Representatives of the YapeiWura, the Yapei Youth Association for Development, and the medical superintendent of the Polyclinic expressed profound appreciation to Hon. Jinapor for his swift response to their needs and his consistent commitment to the well-being of the people of Yapei and surrounding communities.
Accompanied by constituency and branch executives, the MP’s visit to the Polyclinic underscored his dedication to quality healthcare delivery in the Yapei Kusawgu area.
In a related development, Hon. Jinapor also launched a ₵1 million annual tertiary scholarship scheme for students within the constituency, demonstrating his long-standing belief in education as a key driver of development.
The new scholarship scheme builds on his earlier initiative, which provided ₵200,000 annually to support tertiary students from the constituency. The enhanced ₵1 million fund seeks to alleviate the financial burden on parents and provide opportunities for brilliant but needy students to access higher education.
Speaking at the launch, Hon. Jinapor noted that many young people have been forced to abandon their educational aspirations due to financial challenges. The new scholarship, he said, is designed to remove such barriers and enable more students to achieve their academic and professional dreams.
Beyond the tertiary level, the MP has made considerable investments in other educational interventions; including the rehabilitation of school buildings, provision of classroom furniture, distribution of mathematical sets to BECE candidates, and organization of mock examinations to adequately prepare students for their final exams.
In the informal education sector, Hon. Jinapor has established a skills training center to empower artisans, dressmakers, and other tradespeople, ensuring inclusive development across the constituency.
These interventions, both in health and education, reflect Hon. John Abdulai Jinapor’s holistic approach to human capital development and his enduring vision to build a healthier, better-educated, and more prosperous Yapei Kusawgu Constituency.
