Alcan's Ghana Bauxite Company Limited (GBC) operates a Maternal Child Health Clinic in the community and also participates in a national immunization program where vaccines, needles, syringes and monitoring are all part of the service. In addition to supplies, GBC provides the services of its senior medical officer and human resources manager to assist with the programs.

The Maternal Child Health Clinic was put in place to improve the survival rate of mothers and their new-borns. Nursing mothers receive assistance, the babies are monitored for weight gain and other indicators, and vaccines are provided.

Of the six potentially fatal diseases vaccinated against, there have been no reported cases in the district for the past 10 years. Furthermore, the mortality rate for delivering mothers has dropped to zero and the survival rate for children five years of age and younger has increased dramatically.
