The Ashanti Union in Stuttgart in Germany, on Sunday presented hospital items worth about 800 million cedis to the Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu 11, at Manhyia in support of health delivery in Asanteman.
The items included a multiple function ENT machine, hospital beds, babies cots, mattresses, disposable hospital beds, pillow sterilizers, and bedside tables.
Making the presentation on behalf of the Union, Mr Agyeman Boti, Chairman of the Union said the Asantehene deserved commendation for his foresight, objective and vision for the establishment of the Otumfuo Education Fund, the Health Fund and the Golden Development Holding Company.
He said it was in recognition of this that the Union mobilised resources to ship the assorted hospital equipment to supplement his efforts to ensure quality health delivery, not only in Asanteman but the country as a whole.
Mr Boti mentioned people like Mr and Mrs Lang of Olga Hospital in Stuttgart and Mr Kwaku Appiah also of Stuttgard, who were very instrumental in obtaining the items and expressed the Union’s appreciation to them.
He assured the Asantehene of the Union’s continued support for the development of Asanteman and said they had plans to send more equipment and other items, which may be beneficial to the people.
Oheneba Adusei Poku, Akyempemhene on behalf of the Asantehene, expressed appreciation to the Union for the donation.
He asked members of the Union to pay regular visits home to see for themselves how the equipment would be put to use and also appealed to them to continue to contribute towards the development of Asanteman.
