GRANDCESS, Grand Kru County — Residents and road users in Grand Kru County are raising concerns over the deplorable condition of the road between Big Suehn and Belorken, a key route used by patients and other residents traveling to the Grand Kru County Referral Hospital in Grandcess.
Residents say the road has remained in poor condition for nearly a year without significant rehabilitation, making transportation difficult and raising concerns about access to essential healthcare services.
Speaking on September 24, 2026, several road users expressed frustration over what they described as prolonged neglect of the road, which serves as an important link for patients seeking advanced medical treatment at the county’s referral hospital.
According to the residents, the road’s deteriorating condition creates additional difficulties for people traveling to the hospital, particularly patients who may already be experiencing pain or other serious health challenges.
They questioned the impact of the county authorities’ development efforts, calling for greater attention to road infrastructure that directly affects residents’ access to essential public services.
The residents urged the Grand Kru County authorities to prioritize the rehabilitation of the Big Suehn–Belorken road, emphasizing that roads leading to healthcare facilities should receive urgent attention.
They stressed that poor road conditions should not become an additional burden for patients seeking medical care, particularly those traveling from communities that depend on the referral hospital for advanced treatment.
The residents are calling on the relevant authorities to take concrete action to address the situation, warning that continued delays in rehabilitating the road could further inconvenience patients, healthcare seekers, and other road users.
As of the time of the report, no response from the Grand Kru County authorities regarding the residents’ concerns was included in the information provided.
