ASANTEMAN ASSOCIATION DONATES TO KOMFO ANOKYE (PAGE 22, JULY 3, 2010)

MEMBERS of the Asanteman Association in Belgium have donated five wheelchairs and other medical items to the A 3 ward of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital as part of their desire to promote quality medical care at the hospital.
The items,which were estimated at GH¢2000, also included five digital thermometers and 10 BP apparatus.
The Queen of the Asanteman Association of Ghana, Nana Tiwaa Mmorosa, donated the items on behalf of the association.
The association, which adopted the A3 ward 10 years ago as part of its desire to support quality health care delivery, has over the years presented a number of items including refrigerators, television sets, bed sheets, curtains and stoves to the hospital administration.
Speaking to the Daily Graphic after the donation, Nana Mmorosa said the association adopted the ward to provide support to management in its quest to provide quality healthcare delivery for pregnant women.
She said this was not only to encourage pregnant women to feel comfortable and relaxed when on admission but also to motivate the nurses to work hard, thereby, reducing maternal mortality.
She gave the assurance that the members would continue to collaborate with the hospital administrations in diverse ways to enhance quality health care delivery.
The acting Director of Nursing Services at the Hospital, Ms Gifty Fanila Abankwa, who received the items on behalf of the hospital, commended the association for the continued support to the hospital.
