Asanteman also has a CHPS compound under the Ministry of Health, Ghana, which provides healthcare services to residents of the village and surrounding communities.

Most of the working-class residents of Asanteman are peasant farmers engaged in the cultivation of cocoa, oil palm, and other food crops.

Challenges

Currently, the village lacks reliable network connectivity, making it difficult for residents and visitors to use mobile phones and other internet-enabled digital devices. According to residents, this challenge has negatively affected businesses and social relationships and has also contributed significantly to rural-to-urban migration among the youth.

In addition, the community faces inadequate access to water supply in schools and in some parts of the village.
