Apam, Oct. 13, GNA – A group of German medical officers have donated medical equipment and drugs worth 125,000 Euros to Apam Mission Hospital through the Mankoadze Town Development Committee.
The gift is the second in nine months by the same group. The Chairman of the Committee, Mr. Godwin Forson, said the donation was the outcome of a visit the officers paid to Mankoadze Clinic last year at the invitation of one Mr Jerry Bedu-Addo, a citizen of Mankoadze working in Germany.
The equipment include anaesthesia medical roller, ultra-sounding machine, theatre lamp, ECG monitors, siemens “404” inhalation machine, children and adult hospital beds and mattresses as well as drugs. Speaking at the presentation ceremony that took place at Apam Mission Hospital on Monday Mr Forson called on the two traditional councils in the Gomoa District to form a special body to mobilise material and financial resources to support the management of the hospital.
Mr Forson recalled the good works of medical and nursing staff of the hospital, particularly the medical superintendent in charge of the hospital, Dr Charles Ntimoah Takyi through whose singular effort the hospital has seen a number of changes.
Mr Essel Cobbah, the Presiding Member of the Gomoa District Assembly, assured the management of the hospital of the assembly’s support.
