Improving Healthcare in Africa: Duston Group's $80,000 Support in New Powmu Community Clinic in Ghana.

In a significant move to address Africa’s healthcare deficit, Duston Group has invested over $80,000 to build a community clinic in New Powmu (Eastern Region), a town that previously lacked adequate medical infrastructure. This health facility is set to serve over 4,000 residents within the Asuogyaman District, providing them with essential healthcare services previously out of reach. This support is not just about constructing a facility; it represents our commitment to improving lives and leading long-term development across Africa.

Africa’s healthcare challenges are well-documented. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), the continent bears 25% of the global disease burden, yet it has only 3% of the world’s healthcare workers and less than 1% of the world’s financial resources for health. In rural areas like New Powmu and neighbouring communities, the situation is particularly dire. Many residents have had to travel long distances to access basic medical services, leading to delayed treatments and preventable deaths.

Understanding the urgency of this situation, Duston Group has taken decisive action. By funding the construction of the New Powmu Community Hospital, Duston Group is directly contributing to closing the healthcare gap in this region. The hospital will offer critical services such as maternal care, vaccinations, and treatment for common illnesses, ensuring that the community has access to healthcare without the burden of long-distance travel.

This support in New Powmu is part of our broader vision for Africa. We believe building the Africa we want requires targeted investments and support in essential areas such as healthcare, education, and sustainable energy among others. By addressing these fundamental needs, we are advancing people and communities for a healthier, more prosperous continent.

The impact of the New Powmu Community Clinic will be felt immediately. With access to quality healthcare, the residents of New Powmu and adjoining communities can look forward to improved health outcomes, which in turn will contribute to greater economic stability and community well-being. A healthy population is more productive, better able to contribute to local economies, and more likely to thrive in other areas of life.

Our investment in the New Powmu community is one of the many impacts such strategic investments can have on transforming lives and communities across Africa. This support is a clear signal of what’s possible when resources are directed toward addressing critical needs. Africa’s potential is vast, but unlocking it requires a commitment to investing in the very people who will shape its future.
