According to ghana news agency:ccording to Ghana News Agency, the donation, valued at about GHC3,000, included opioid medications, a rescue kit, one LED mobile otoscope, a pen torch, two children's neck collars, a Nessi OTC spacer, and three teddy bears. The staff described the gesture as both unexpected and uplifting, noting that it would go a long way in strengthening pediatric care and enhancing service delivery at the facility.
Speaking to the GNA during the presentation, Dr. Tsrakasu said the items were his personal contribution to ensuring that children received better quality care in the hospital. 'These items may seem small, but they can make a significant difference in pediatric care,' he said, stressing that the welfare of children remained a central priority in the hospital's operations.
The Acting Head explained that the donation reflected his belief that medical leadership should combine administration with compassion and service. He encouraged colleagues to find ways, no matter how modest, to contribute to the collective mission of improving health outcomes.
Receiving the supplies on behalf of the Sub-BMC, Mr. Emmanuel Gablah, Health Service Administrator, expressed profound gratitude, describing the gesture as rare and inspiring. 'Dr. Tsrakasu's thoughtfulness shows his dedication not just as a medical professional, but as a leader who cares about the future of our department,' Mr. Gablah said.
He emphasized that contributions of this nature from within hospital staff were unusual, and Dr. Tsrakasu's initiative served as a model of leadership rooted in service and empathy. Some staff at the huddle applauded the gesture, noting that the donation went beyond equipment and touched on the emotional well-being of children, particularly with the teddy bears, which they said would help reduce anxiety during treatment.
The hospital's management team added that such acts of kindness, if replicated across departments, would enhance service delivery, motivate staff, and strengthen the hospital's relationship with its patients. Dr. Tsrakasu's donation adds to the ongoing efforts of the Ho Teaching Hospital to expand pediatric services and ensure that children in the Volta Region and beyond receive compassionate and comprehensive healthcare.
