MP presents equipment to health facilities in Sekyere Central

Eleven health facilities in the Sekyere Central District in Ashanti have received equipment to support quality healthcare delivery.

The equipment were procured by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament (MP) for Nsuta Kwamang-Beposo in the Ashanti Region, Mr Kwame Asafo-Adjei, at a cost of Gh¢50,000.00.

The funds were from the MP’s share of the National Health Insurance Fund Levy,  and the presentations were done in collaboration with the Sekyere Central District Health Directorate, as part of the MP’s contribution towards quality healthcare delivery in the area.

They included a boiling steriliser, sterilising drum, weighing and height scales, hospital beds, delivery beds, mattresses, ward screen and stethoscope.

Beneficiary institutions

The beneficiary institutions were the Nsuta Hospital, Kwamang, Beposo, Atonsu, Asubuaso  Oku and Birem health centres, and four other facilities.

Making the presentation to the Sekyere Central District Directorate of the Ghana Health Service to be distributed to the 11 health facilities in the area, Mr Asafo-Adjei, urged health personnel to develop good maintenance culture at their workplaces to protect and prolong the lifespan of the equipment.

He commended health personnel in the district for their dedication to healthcare delivery and urged them to continue to work harder and use the items for the intended purposes to benefit the people.

The Sekyere Central District Director of Health Services, Mr Cletus Opoku Amankwah, who received the equipment on behalf of the various facilities, thanked the MP for the donation.

He said it was unfortunate that some districts were unable to access the National Health Insurance Fund levy due to lack of effective collaboration between some Members of Parliament and their District Health Directors, and commended the MP for the close collaboration with the health directorate.
