Ayeduase Clinic receives lifeline drugs

The Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) Alumni Association has thrown a lifeline to a budding community clinic in Kumasi — the Ayeduase Community Clinic — with an assortment of drugs worth GH¢5,000. 

The donation was meant to relieve the clinic from the strain of drug insufficiency.  

The Ayeduase Community Clinic serves about 13 other communities and is, at the moment, performing the stopgap role of a storehouse following the destruction of the Central Medical Stores in Tema by fire. 

The visit to the clinic was also a follow-up to a previous one the KNUST alumni paid to the health facility in October last year when it conducted a health-screening exercise for the university community to round off its eighth Biennial Congress. 

It was the first time that the former child welfare centre turned into a community clinic in 2008 was receiving medications free of charge. 

An alumni Officer and Coordinator, Mr Festus Nyame, led a team of the association’s executive to present the items. 

The Principal Midwifery Officer at the clinic, Madam Regina Lily Loglo, the Metropolitan Pharmacist, Mavis Britwum, and the Adontehene of Ayeduase, Nana Oduro Ofrikyi, all commended the alumni for the gesture and said they were hopeful that the relationship between the two entities would be deepened.
