Director for Legal & External Affairs at Vodafone Ghana Preba Greenstreet, has emphasised the critical role of quality healthcare in national development during a donation of essential medical equipment to the Manhyia District Hospital’s Antenatal Care unit in Kumasi.
The donation was part of the Vodafone Foundation’s commitment to enhancing healthcare and supporting communities.
The Foundation presented critical medical equipment to the Antenatal Care unit of the Manhyia District Hospital. The donation, which includes a stadiometer, foetal doppler, pulse oximeter, blood pressure monitor, and bedsheets, is expected to bolster the hospital’s capacity to provide quality healthcare to its patients.
The Vodafone Ghana Foundation partnered with the Otumfuo Osei Tutu II Foundation to make the donation. Head of Stakeholder Relations at the Otumfuo Osei Tutu II Foundation, Kwabena Owusu Ababio, lauded the Foundation’s efforts and encouraged the hospital to make good use of the items.
Preba Greenstreet remarked, “We believe quality healthcare is essential for national development, and we understand that different stakeholders have roles to play in achieving this.
Through our connected health programmes, Vodafone Ghana Foundation remains committed to supporting the government in improving healthcare one community at a time. We are confident that these essential items will significantly enhance the care provided to the thousands of patients who visit the Antenatal Care unit each month.”
The Manhyia District Hospital is a leading healthcare provider in Kumasi, and its Antenatal Care unit sees approximately 4,000 patients per month. Madam Gladys Abban, the Department Director of Nursing at Manhyia District Hospital, expressed her gratitude for the donation.
She highlighted the significant impact the items would have on the unit and assured the Foundation that the items would be used for their intended purpose.
