Through the efforts of Irish pioneer missionaries in 1968, in partnership with the national church of Ghana, a vision was born for medical and community development work in the village of Amakom. Today these same buildings stand. The clinic has a staff of 15 Ghanaian nationals and two missionaries – Andrew & Juliana Jernigan with their children. The clinic is a member of the Christian Health Association of Ghana (CHAG) and is administered by the Methodist Church Ghana. The vision of showing the love of God to the people of the villages of Lake Bosomtwe through sharing health and education, discipleship and teaching, development and transformation through God will come to fruition in the years ahead with your commitment to investing in Project 611.
