Asenso Boakye making the presentation to Dr. Oheneba Danso
A DEPUTY Chief of Staff, Asenso Boakye, has presented modern hospital beds worth US$80,000 to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) in Kumasi.
The donation was in response to a passionate appeal that management of the medical facility made to him recently.
The largesse is also the deputy chief of staff’s widow’s mite in support of the KATH endowment fund. Cash and equipment donations are also accepted in the KATH fund.
During the presentation ceremony, Asenso Boakye said he was involved in a road crash some months ago and he was rushed to KATH for treatment.
He disclosed that during his short stay at KATH for treatment, management appealed to him to support them to get enough modern beds to properly treat patients.
“And as a citizen of the land, I have heeded to their passionate appeal for support by providing these beds and I will willingly support KATH again whenever I get the chance,” he stated.
Asenso Boakye entreated corporate bodies and other individuals to come to the aid of KATH so they can give off their best in terms of health delivery.
Asenso Boakye, who is a native of Bantama Constituency in Kumasi, was supported by Kumasi Mayor, Osei Assibey Antwi and other NPP constituency executives.
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of KATH, Dr. Oheneba Danso, disclosed that 70 percent of beds at KATH are outmoded.
He showered praises on Asenso Boakye for his timely donation and called for public support.
