The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) on Tuesday presented medical supplies worth over 70,000 Euros to the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital.
The items include surgical gloves, Spinal Needles, nose mask respirator, Shroud Kit, disinfectant granules and equipment for detection of Hepatitis B.
The presentation was in appreciation of the immense role the hospital had played in providing healthcare to refugee patients in emergency situations, Ms Aida Haile Mariam, UNHCR Representative in Ghana said.
She added that the organization was committed to supporting various healthcare institutions that complemented its efforts.
Ms Mariam said St. Martin de Porres Hospital at Eikwe, Apam Catholic Hospital and the Volta Regional Office of the Ghana Health Service had received similar assistance.
Mrs Comfort Aboagye-Adu, Acting Director of Nursing, said one of the problems that the hospital faced was the shortage of nurses during study leave periods.
“The laboratory equipment, surgical gloves and all the items would assist the medical staff in performing efficiently at the hospital,” she said. Source: gna - Ghana News Agency
