Nana Ama Saara II, a resident of Kayireku in the Twifo Atti-Morkwa district in the Central Region has donated medical equipment to the Kayireku Community Health Planning and Services (CHPS) compound to help improve the delivery of quality health care in the area.
The items were; 2 stethoscopes, 1 delivery bed, 1 dustbin, 1 weighing scale, 5 fold screens, 2 chargeable lamps and a veronica bucket.
Last year, a youth group presented some items to the same CHPS compound as part of their efforts to complement government’s determination to advance health care in the town.
During the presentation, the authorities at the facility lamented on how the lack of some basic equipment at the facility was impeding their work and, therefore, appealed for more support from the community.
In response to the appeal, Nana Ama Saara, who was touched by the concerns raised by the managers of the facility, made a promise to support them with some of the items they needed.
Redeem pledge
With support from Abusuapanyin Timothy Afreh, Opanyin Peter Sobeng and Opanyin Kwame Manu, Nana Saara redeemed her promise to the facility with the aforementioned items.
Presenting the items, Nana Saara II indicated that quality health care delivery was a shared responsibility, hence her decision to support the facility with the items.
She further gave an assurance that her doors were always open and, therefore, urged managers of the facility not to hesitate to call on her anytime they need any form of assistance.
Receiving the items, the District Health Information Officer, Mr Isaac Toffey, noted that the items delivered by Nana Saara and her family were some of the items needed to improve the effectiveness of the compound.
On behalf of their Director, Mr Samuel KwabenaOfosu, he expressed appreciation to Nana Saara and her family for the donation and promised that the items would be put to good use.
The CHPS Compound Community Chairman of Twifo Kayireku, Mr Daniel OpokuAnokye praised Nana Saara and her elders for their backing and called on others to also come to the support of the facility
