The items included blood Bank refrigerators, face mask, assorted surgical gloves, medical drawers and disposable gloves.

He expressed the Hospital’s appreciation to the donors and promised that the items would be put to good use to ensure quality health care service delivery in the Region.
Dr. Abebrese said the equipment would help to reduce the Hospital’s equipment and logistics challenges and also contribute in saving the lives of many patients referred to the facility.
