The Children's Department of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) has taken delivery of a suction machine, (used to extract fluids from patients) and blood pressure measuring equipment.
These were a donation from Eximguaranty Ghana Limited, a finance house company.
Mr Felix Ntrakwah, the Board Chairman of the Company, said the donation was part of their contribution to the health needs of children in Ashanti and the northern part of the country.
He said the Company's social responsibility initiatives focus on health and education related programmes, which are important for human capital
development.
Mr Ntrakwah said similar donations would be made to some deprived communities in the Brong Ahafo, Northern, Upper East and West regions.
Eximguaranty has been providing credit guarantees to small and medium enterprises and contractors and has now opened a branch in Kumasi to serve the northern sector of the country.
Mrs Felicity Acquah, the Managing Director, said they recognized the mportant role being played by KATH in health care delivery and were proud
to be part of efforts at bringing quality health care to children.
Dr Emmanuel Addo Yobo, Head of Child Health Directorate of KATH, thanked the Company and said the equipment could not have come at a more opportune time given the high rate of paediatric admissions at the hospital.
