The Ghana Nurses Association of Dallas-Fort Worth in Texas, USA, has initiated the construction of a maternity ward in the Pantang community of the La Nkwantanang Municipality, located in the Greater Accra Region.

This decision was prompted by the community's elders, who appealed to the association for a maternity facility to support women during pregnancy and the post-delivery phase. In 2021, some members of the association visited the area and witnessed the need for such a facility.

The President of the association, Aba Amprofi-Halm, expressed that both the nurses and the entire Ghanaian community in Dallas-Fort Worth were motivated to contribute to their home country by undertaking this project.

In addition to this endeavor, the association aims to carry out various initiatives throughout the country every two years. Previously, they focused on making donations and providing assistance to clinics and communities during the last two-year cycle.

“Our project is not only in Pantang, we are going to the Ho Teaching Hospital and to Cape Coast to work alongside the nurses there.

“We want to educate while also learn from them. We have obtained an evidence-based journal that we will donate to schools,” the president added.
