Salaga: NDC PC Renovates Facility For Hospital To Serve As Isolation Centre

In the wake of the novel coronavirus in the country, hospitals across the country have put in measures to contain the spread.

In view of this, the NDC Parliamentary Candidate for Salaga South Constituency, Hajia Zuweira Ibrahimah, has renovated a building to serve as an isolation centre for the hospital.

Even though the Savannah region is yet to record a case, hospitals have been putting in measures to contain the virus.

The provision of isolation centers is one such initiative.

In view of this, the National Democratic Congress parliamentary candidate for Salaga South Constituency, Hajia Zuweira Ibrahima renovated a three-bedroom isolation center for the Salaga hospital.

The facility has a holding room, nurses room, washroom, and a toilet.

At a short ceremony to hand over the block, Secretary to the party Alhaji Yussif Hairat said the PC was touched when she heard the hospital did not have an isolation center.

He said as a woman who has foresight in the health of her people, she decided to remedy the situation.

"This is in response to a request by hospital management after several followups to the Assembly proved futile. Thank God we have a visionary leader like Hajia" he stressed

The chairman of the hospital management committee Champowura Tanko Harruna expressed gratitude to the PC for the gesture.

He called for more support in the fight against the novel virus.

Medical Superintendent of the hospital Dr. Prosper Luri said the intervention was timely.

He added the project will benefit the hospital even after COVID-19.

"We as a facility are grateful to Hajia Zuweira for promptly responding to a call in the fight against the novel virus. This will help beyond covid 19"

Hajia Afushei Doshie who was at the hospital to witness the handing over was overwhelmed at the gesture.

She appealed to patrons to emulate the gesture.

As at the time of filing this report, Ghana has recorded 284 cases.
