KWESIMINTSIM POLYCLINIC GETS MEDICAL EQUIPMENT (PAGE 29)

The Ghana Bible Fellowship Association in collaboration with the Universal Bible Church in Los Angeles, USA, has presented medical equipment worth thousands of Ghana cedis to the Kwesimintsim Polyclinic in the Sekondi/Takoradi metropolis.
The items included 1,300 surgical caps, 107 surgical gowns, 1,200 surgical gloves, uniforms and surgical gowns worth GH¢11,850.00 to improve upon medical care at the hospital.
Presenting the items, Pastor Leo Fiagbe, a member of the association, said the polyclinic had been of great help to them any time they requested their assistance.
“We, therefore, decided to include them in the list of hospitals to benefit from the collaboration between us and our sister fellowships in America,” he said.
He said as a fellowship they did not only help to meet the spiritual needs of people in the targeted communities, but also tried as much as possible to ensure that they provided things that would make life comfortable.
“There is nothing more important than to see the smile back on the face of people, who through no fault of theirs have to suffer. To us, the best form of service to God is to help one another, especially those in need, so that it affects other members of the larger community,” he said.
Pastor Fiagbe expressed the hope that the donation would not only serve as the bond of friendship between them and the facility, but a healthy union that would benefit the people.
The Hospital Administrator, Nana Ntim Adjei, expressed his gratitude to the fellowship for their support and the love demonstrated and that the hospital critically needed the items.
He said the government’s quest to prioritise health care in the country would require the support of philanthropic individuals and other well-meaning members of the society.
“I must be honest to tell you that with groups and individuals such as the fellowship, the running of hospitals will be much better than what we have at the moment and I must say the donation is timely and most needed,” he said.
Nana Adjei gave the assurance that the items would be used for the benefit of the people.
Sister Margaret Araba Annan, in charge of nurses, who received the items, also thanked members of the fellowship and asked other groups to emulate their example.
