A health worker, Mabel Taylor, a midwife at the Enchi Kwawu Methodist Clinic in the Aowin municipality of the Western North region, has been honoured for her exceptional service, discipline, commitment, hard work, and love for humanity.
Her dedication and compassion recently earned her recognition from the Chief of Enchi Kwawu, Nana Tano Kabaah II, who praised her professionalism and sacrifice in serving the people of the community.
Miss Taylor went beyond her normal duties when a pregnant woman, who had delayed seeking medical attention due to financial constraints, arrived at the clinic in critical condition.
Recognizing the urgency of the situation, Miss Taylor personally mobilized financial support from prominent individuals in the community, including the chief, to assist with the woman’s treatment.
When the woman was later referred to the Enchi Government Hospital for delivery, Taylor accompanied her to ensure she received proper care and delivered safely.
Her act of selflessness moved many in the community, prompting Nana Tano Kabaah II to present her with a refrigerator as a token of appreciation.
The chief described her compassion and commitment as exemplary and worthy of emulation.
Speaking to Onua News, the young midwife said she was inspired by her lecturer’s advice during her training, which urged health workers to treat all patients equally, regardless of their background or financial situation.
“Some patients may not have money, but that should not stop us from giving them the best care. Sometimes, we must sacrifice what we have to save lives,” she said.
She also encouraged her colleagues in the health sector to uphold professionalism, work with humility, and serve their communities with compassion and selfless love.
In recognition of her outstanding performance, Mabel Taylor was also adjudged the Overall Best Nurse and Midwife for 2025.
The people of Enchi Kwawu have lauded her for her kindness, humility, and hard work, describing her as a role model and an inspiration to others in the health profession.
