First Lady Akufo-Addo
The First Lady, Rebecca Naa Okaikor Akufo-Addo, has donated assorted medical items to Ho Municipal Hospital, as part of The Rebecca Foundation’s mission to support the health sector.
Making the presentation, Mrs Akufo-Addo said The Rebecca Foundation has since 2017 been working to complement the government’s efforts to improve the health sector, with specific focus on the health of Ghanaian women and children.
According to her, The Rebecca Foundation has donated medical equipment and consumables to all sixteen regions in the country; renovated health facilities, including Osu Government Maternity Home; sponsored surgeries; and fully funded the construction of a paediatric intensive care unit and a mother and baby unit at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, in Accra, and the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, in Kumasi, respectively.
Women health
She emphasised that the health of women and children would always be her priority, and expressed the readiness of The Rebecca Foundation to work with other organisations and individuals to deliver quality healthcare to women and children.
Receiving the items, which included bed sheets, diapers, blankets, nose masks, sanitizers and hospital beds, the head of Ho Municipal Hospital, Dr Lawrence Kumi, said the institution was grateful to the First Lady for the donation, stating that it was very timely as the facility was in need of assistance to enhance its health delivery.
