Residents of Fahnseh Town in Todee Statutory District, lower Montserrado County, want government to construct a clinic in their town so as to help prevent the continued reported deaths of pregnant women, baby mothers, and children.
Fahnseh Town’s Chief, Mamah Kollie, told the media this week that when said clinic is built in the town, it will minimize some of those medical problems being experienced by residents not only in the town but its surrounding villages as well.
She recounted the long distance from the town (Fahnseh) where sick people have to travel; something which is said to be the major cause of women giving birth in the open while enroute to Kakata, Margibi County.
Kollie is also calling on the government to elevate the Fahnseh Public School to Junior Secondary School level to stop students who have completed the primary (elementary) level from roaming around and laying about idle.
Fahnsen’s chief stated that the lack of the continuation of those primary school leavers or drop-outs, has made them to engage in early marriages and child bearing in the town.
