Residents of Chemgbetee, and surrounding communities have gotten weary of concerns to access healthcare due to the collapse of a temporary plank Chemgbetee Bridge that connects them to Doeswen Clinic in Grand Kru County.
The damaged bridge, reportedly beyond repair, has raised concerns among residents about their ability to access essential medical services, particularly during emergencies.
Doeswen Clinic serves residents from Chemgbetee, and neighboring Jlatiken, Weayan, Worwleeken, and Seebodro.
The situation poses particular concerns for pregnant women, and others, who may require urgent medical attention, but could face difficulties reaching the health facility due to the damage of the bridge.
Residents have increasingly spoken about how patients will be transported to the clinic if the bridge remains impassable, especially when immediate medical care is required.
The situation highlights the urgent need for authorities, to repair the bridge to restore safe access to the clinic.
Without timely intervention, residents fear that the damaged bridge could further hinder access to essential healthcare services in the affected communities.
