Accra, Nov. 12, GNA – MDS-Lancet Laboratories Ghana, a
private medical laboratory centre, on Friday handed over a
refurbished Department of Surgery at a cost of GH¢20,000 to the
Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital. The facelift, aimed at creating conducive environment for
patients and staff of the Department, covered the conference room,
library, seminar room, floor tile replacement, change of wooden
doors to aluminum, and blinds replacement.
Dr Paul Sekyere-Nyantakyi Chief Executive Officer of MDS-
Lancet Laboratories said the renovation formed part of the
company’s social responsibility and that it had over the years been
collaborating with the Hospital and supporting it with various
medical outreach programmes. He noted that the company had discussed with its
partners to undertake another project in the hospital to make it
remain the nation’s premier healthcare institution. Dr Sekyere-Nyantakyi expressed the hope that the refurbishment
would go a long way to promote quality health care delivery by
serving as a point of academic and research intercourse. Dr Clegg Lamptey, Head of Surgical Department, said the
Surgical Block, known as the engine room, was the largest
Department at the Hospital and also served as examination centre
for staff and students from the University of Ghana and other
doctors from the West African Sub-Region. He urged other stakeholders and organisations to support the
Department to make it a centre of excellence. Dr Afua Hesse, Head of Medical Affairs of the hospital, noted
that the Department would do its best to maintain the facility and to
take the MDS- Lancet Laboratories as good partner in development.
