Madina Area Women’s Ministry donates to Pentecost Hospital
The Women’s Ministry of the Church of Pentecost, Madina Area, supported by the ministers’ wives, has donated essential items to the Madina Pentecost Hospital.
The gesture, led by Deaconess Gifty Nyante, marked a continued commitment to supporting the sick and celebrating life through giving.
Gift of giving
The donation was spearheaded by Deaconess Gifty Nyante, the Madina Area Women’s Leader, with backing from all ministers’ wives within the area.
This year’s event was held in collaboration with the area head’s wife who marked her birthday by giving back to the community.
“She celebrated her birthday, and as part of that, she decided to make the donations.
We, the women in the Madinah Area Church of Pentecost, came together to support her to make it happen,” she said.
The items donated included detergents, bleach, bed sheets, tissue rolls and sanitary towels, wall clock, brooms, mop and mop bucket, dustpan, soaps, towels, cotton rolls, bedsheet, blankets all chosen to ease the hospital’s burden in maintaining hygienic conditions for both patients and staff.
Deaconess Gifty said the celebrant was grateful to God for adding another year to her life and as such, she wanted to express her appreciation by supporting the hospital.
“This is not a one-time act. We have done it before, and we will continue. In fact, we started two years ago. It’s something we plan to keep doing whenever the Lord lays it on our hearts,” she said.
Gratitude
Dr Barbara Swanzy-Asare, a specialist paediatrician, and acting director at the hospital, expressed deep appreciation for the generous act.
“We had the privilege of receiving many useful items: bleach, detergents, sanitary towels, and more –and these will really go a long way to support our work.
They will help us maintain cleanliness and meet everyday needs,” she said.
Head of Administrative Support Services, Vida Nuiddah, highlighted that while the donations would assist in daily operations, the hospital still had some urgent needs.
“We are expanding and about to open a new medical block. We need more equipment such as hospital beds, monitors and other clinical tools. Any help in that regard is most welcome,” she said.
She explained that the Hospital served people from Madina, La-Nkwantanang, and even as far as Kasoa and Dodowa, making it necessary to receive external support for smooth operations.
Mrs Nuiddah acknowledged the broader challenges they faced in terms of delays in payments from the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), which affected their ability to buy essential drugs and replenish medical supplies.
“We trust that the government will come through, and gestures like today’s give us strength to continue providing care for our people,” she said.
