The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints have donated hospital equipment worth approximately hundred thousand dollars to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH).
This gesture aims to improve service delivery at the hospital, which serves as a referral center for many regions.
The Chief Executive Officer of KATH, Dr. Paa Kwesi Baidoo, expressed his gratitude for the donation, stating that it came at the right time.
“This donation will go a long way in easing the burden on clients who visit the hospital,” he said.
He added, “It is our duty and responsibility to take care of those who visit the hospital.”
The donated equipment includes 40 cardiac tables, 15 electric beds, 20 patient monitors, 15 hydraulic patient stretchers, dual ABS medicine trolleys, 30 folding bed screens.
Others are; 30 wheelchairs, 15 crash trolleys, and 40 drip stands.
The hospital management revealed that the facility continues to face equipment challenges despite its skilled labor and rising demand for services.
Dr. Baidoo added, “We have a lot of needs, we have just one MRI that is working, and it’s faulty. CT scans are not working, and we’re trying to bring these.”
Meanwhile, the church has showed appreciation to the staff of the facility for their dedication in spite of the equipment challenges.
They believe the donation will improve service delivery.
