Izwe Savings and Loans has presented hospital equipment to the maternity ward of the Chiraa hospital in the Sunyani West Municipality of the Bono Region.
Chiraa is a heavily populated community which shares boundaries with four
districts in three regions of Ghana.
The only health center
in the community, upgraded to a hospital last year, also serves as a referral
point to over a dozen communities.
For years, the Chiraa Hospital has lacked facilities for quality healthcare.
The situation has affected the work of doctors and nurses as well as quality of
care provided to patients, especially at the maternity ward.
As part of Izwe’s Corporate Social responsibilityinitiative, the institution
has donated hospital equipment to improve healthcare delivery at the hospital.
The donated items included an autoclave(a machine for sterilizing medical
equipment), medical screens, metal cabinets, office desk and chairs, curtains and
bedsheets with pillowcases. The company also painted the maternity block.
Hospital Administrator Mabel Tweneboah stated: “It’s going to help us a lot.
Being the only government hospital on the Sunyani-Techiman stretch, most
referrals from other districts for healthcare delivery are directed to this
facility.”
While thanking Izwe for their support, the Chiraa hospital administrator also
appealed to other organizations and individuals to emulate the gesture of Izwe
Savings and Loans for effective healthcare delivery at the Chiraa hospital.
“We are grateful and appreciate what Izwe has been able to provide for us. We
will put them to good use. We thank them very much for this beautiful
presentation,” Madam Tweneboah added.
