The Member of Parliament (MP) for Ejisu Constituency in the Ashanti Region, Dr John Kumah, has in collaboration with other stakeholders, has embarked on an initiative to replace old hospital beds with new ones.
The EJISU Club 100 and other engaged stakeholders made a donation of approximately 100 new hospital beds and mattresses to several medical facilities within the Ejisu municipality.
The recipients of this generous contribution span a diverse range of healthcare establishments, encompassing clinics, health posts, and CHPS compounds, among other essential institutions situated within the municipality.
Dr John Kumah, who also a Deputy Minister for Finance, underscored the pressing need to alleviate the persisting shortage of beds across various hospitals in the municipality.
As he presented the donation to the municipal health directorate, he emphasised the paramount importance of this endeavour to enhance the healthcare infrastructure and services within the region.
Furthermore, Dr Kumah has directed the replacement of existing old beds within the various wards with these newly provided units.
This comprehensive approach aims not only to address the current scarcity but also to modernise and elevate the standards of patient care within these medical facilities.
Dr Kumah took the opportunity to urge the managerial staff of the recipient hospitals to exercise responsible stewardship over the donated items, with a view to extending their longevity and ensuring their sustained utility.
This prudent counsel, he stressed, serves as a reminder of the collective effort required to optimise the impact of such a vital donation on the healthcare landscape of the Ejisu.
The collaborative synergy between Dr John Kumah, the EJISU Club 100, and other committed stakeholders stands as a testament to their shared dedication to improving the healthcare system in the municipality.
Through this remarkable initiative, they are making significant strides in fortifying the healthcare infrastructure and addressing the critical challenges that have hindered effective patient care.
