Mr. Dominic Osei-Kofi, General Manager of HopeXchange Medical Center, has expressed profound gratitude to the American Schools and Hospitals Abroad (ASHA) Grant Programme of USAID for their transformative support to the facility.
He expressed HopeXchange’s heartfelt appreciation to the government and people of the USA, for their remarkable contribution to the Ghana Health sector through ASHA/USAID grants.
According to him, for more than a decade HopeXchange Medical Centre has been one of the beneficiaries and a partner of the American Schools and Hospitals Abroad (ASHA) grant Programme of USAID under a unique partnership.
He disclosed that USA – leading faculty members from Yale University, Mayo Clinic and others are actively involved in research, transfer of knowledge and American-inspired hospital Standard Operation Practices (SOP).
This, he noted, has made HopeXchange a hub of medical training in the Ashanti region, as ASHA also facilitates taking critical medical assistance to remote areas.
He stated that a crowning achievement of the ASHA/USAID partnership is the construction of a state-of-the-art maternal and Child Health Centre (MCHC), which, when completed, will contribute immensely to the provision of needed health care for mothers and children, especially neonates in the country.
He said the Centre will also advance the training of health care professionals and students in maternal and child health and that through the generous support of ASHA/USAID, HopeXchange would soon take delivery of a mobile clinic to augment its medical outreach.
He stated that the mobile clinic is a major investment in the health and well-being of the entire region and enables HopeXchange to reach the under served and remote communities, particularly those who are poor, needy and vulnerable, ensuring that no one is left behind because of distance or lack of access.
