A refurbished 32-foot fibre-glass boat to help health personnel in the Kwahu Afram Plains North District to undertake visits to the islands in the district is idling on the shores of the Volta Lake at Amankwa Tornu. This is because the district health directorate is not able to fuel the boat for the outreach programmes, thereby denying those communities of quality healthcare. Out of the 372 communities in the district, 224, representing about two-thirds of the total population of the district, are located in hard-to-reach areas such as the Dwarf and Didza islands.
