Lordina Mahama meets queenmothers in Hohoe, donates equipment to Regional Hospital

FORMER First Lady, Lordina Mahama, has visited the Hohoe Constituency to engage in some activities to boost the healthcare of the people and also campaign for the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

Mrs Mahama met and interacted with the queenmothers from the Gbi Traditional Area, during which she introduced the parliamentary candidate, Efo 

Worlanyo Tsekpo, to them. In her interaction, they discussed issues affecting the development of women and children in their communities and how the administration of John Dramani Mahama would support them. 

Also the President of the Lordina Foundation, Mrs Mahama's visit to Hohoe was marked by a significant gesture.

Donation 

She donated a substantial quantity of much-needed hospital equipment to the Hohoe Regional Hospital, a move that will significantly enhance healthcare delivery to the community.

The donation, made in response to an urgent appeal from the NDC parliamentary candidate, included a range of essential hospital equipment.

The items comprise hospital beds, incubators, baby cots, carts, wheelchairs, stethoscopes, kitchenware, irons and kettles.

The Administrator of the hospital, Charles Tokornu, who received the items, expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Mrs Mahama for her generous support. 

He pledged to use the equipment to enhance healthcare in the community. 

He added, “We are thrilled with the many items provided”, and appeal for additional resources “to attend to patients with the highest quality of care.” 

Intervention

Efo Tsekpo expressed his gratitude to Mrs Mahama for the timely intervention but voiced his concern regarding the hospital's neglect over the last eight years,  and gave the assurance to the community that a future NDC government would address the pressing challenges facing the health sector.

In her remarks, Mrs Mahama commended the dedication of the health staff in spite of the logistical challenges they faced. She assured them of her commitment to support the health sector across the country.

Through the Lordina Foundation, Mrs Mahama has consistently championed healthcare initiatives over the past two decades. Recent projects included the construction of maternity and children’s wards in the Bole and Nkoranza districts.
