Mr. William Agyapong Quaittoo, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Akim Oda has donated a Nissan Pickup worth GHC105,200 Ghana cedis to the Community Health Centre at Akim Oda Old Town in the Eastern Region.
The donation was made upon an appeal by Madam Celestine Kwofie, a Midwife and the head of the health centre.
Presenting the vehicle, Mr Quaittoo noted that the health centre required a clinic status considering the kind of equipment the health professionals used and the number of patients it catered for.
He therefore called on the Ministry of Health to provide the needed infrastructure for the health centre to be converted into clinic to cover more catchment areas.
Receiving the vehicle, Madam Kwofie thanked the MP and said the gesture would go a long way to support the operations of the health centre to save the lives of the people during emergencies.
Mr Kwabena Bempong, the Birim Central Municipal Chief Executive urged the health workers to help protect and maintain the equipment for a long term use whilst calling on the people to support the development of the municipality.
