The Tema branch of Women Empowerment Foundation International (WEFI), a non-governmental organization (NGO), has given various medical supplies to the facility's female medical ward as part of efforts to enhance healthcare at the Tema General Hospital.
31 bedspreads, 12 patient mattresses, a wheelchair, a zimma frame, three oxygen cylinders, an adjustable wheeled bedframe, 15 plastic chairs, packs of bottled water, and 12 patient mattresses were among the items. The total estimated value of the items was around GH40,000.00.
Additionally, the group changed the drapes in the ward and adjacent offices.
After delivering the supplies to the hospital, Christiana Agyeman-Berko, the president of the WEFI branch in Tema, told reporters that the organization, which was established as a charitable organization in 2009, had adopted the facility's female medical ward.
The renovations included repainting the ward, plumbing work, renetting the whole female medical ward, mending and replacing bathroom and toilet facilities, and updating the ceiling boards.
She explained that the most recent gift, which was made in response to a request from the institution, was made in order to improve the facility's provision of healthcare services to the general population.
She said that WEFI has previously carried out comparable undertakings in other healthcare institutions.
She said that WEFI has given educational scholarships to deserving but talented students who are enrolled in second-cycle and tertiary-level courses.
Appeal
Naana Mensima Aikens, a senior nursing officer at the hospital, thanked WEFI for supporting the ward and emphasized how important it was.
She made a plea to Tema's business community to support the institution because it served as the only referral hospital for the whole metropolis and its surrounding areas.
Mrs. Aikens specifically requested that a mobile medical X-ray unit be given to the Tema General Hospital so that radiologists could take X-ray images of patients without requiring them to leave their beds.
She added that occasionally, patients had to be transported in an ambulance from the ward to the X-ray unit just to have an X-ray image taken, which created its own inconvenience for the patient and medical staff. She claimed that the facility's lone portable medical X-ray machine had been broken down for a number of months.
Mrs. Aikens pleaded with philanthropists to help the facility by providing patient monitors that would enable patients to be safely monitored while being admitted, more adjustable wheeled bed frames, and patient lockers for the 32-bed female medical ward, which currently has fewer than five wheeled adjustable beds and the majority of the existing patient bedside lockers have broken down.
