Adzonkor: A philanthropic couple from New Botianor, Mr. and Mrs. Cosmos Gyan, have made a significant contribution to maternal healthcare by donating two delivery beds to the Adzonkor Community-based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) Compound in the Agortime-Ziope District of the Volta Region.
According to Ghana News Agency, the donation took place during a ceremony at the facility, where Mrs. Grace Gyan presented the items on behalf of her husband. She revealed that the gesture was in celebration of their birthdays, explaining that instead of hosting a party, they decided to support maternal healthcare in underserved communities. "This is our personal way of giving back. While we appreciate the government's efforts, we believe that individuals must also step in to help bridge the healthcare gap," she stated.
Torgbui Satsi III, the Chief of Adzonkor, expressed gratitude for the couple's ongoing support to the community and the CHPS compound. He highlighted previous donations from the couple, which included a thermometer, blood pressure apparatus, weighing scale, a 32-inch television set, and various medical supplies. He also encouraged the facility's staff to maintain the equipment to ensure its longevity.
Receiving the donation on behalf of the facility, Ms. Bernice Tokamey, Senior Community Health Nurse, conveyed deep appreciation to the couple and prayed for divine blessings upon them. "We are truly grateful and will ensure that these beds are put to good use in serving our mothers and newborns," she added.
