The University of Ghana Medical Center and Ga East Hospital received Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) from Lions Club International District 418 at a joint ceremony in Accra.
This, according to the Club, is part of its contributions to the fight against coronavirus in the country.
Ghana District 418 District Governor Helen Maku Obeng, who made the presentation, said this is part of her contribution to better humanity.
In addition, he said that after the increasing pressures that many health facilities have faced due to the pandemic, it was logical that they also offered their little support to the general fight.
I was hopeful that this contribution would be of great help to the facility and to the many patients for whom they risked their lives.
UGMC Executive Director Dr. Darius Osei, who received the articles on behalf of the UGMC took the opportunity to remind everyone that there is an increase in the number of coronavirus cases in the country.
Therefore, he was very grateful for the timeliness of the donation, since the items they use in the management of infectious disease are consumable.
He thanked them for the donation, assuring them that they will be used properly to promote the necessary security and compliance with security protocols at their facilities.
On behalf of Ga East Municipal Hospital, Dr. Ebenezer Oduro-Mensah, who is the Medical Superintendent and Family Physician, was concerned about the increase in the number of cases of young people testing positive for the coronavirus.
Therefore, he recommended that they take all necessary precautions to minimize the spread.
In total, according to graphic.com.gh, the group donated 200 gowns, 100 surgical gowns, safety glasses, surgical masks, face shields, and 14 infrared heat guns to both facilities.
The rest were 30 700 ml refillable automatic dispensers, 15 units of 25-liter alcohol disinfectant gel, 84 powder-free gloves, 41 disposable nitrile gloves, and 14 N95 nasal masks.
