Kumasi: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints has generously donated medical equipment valued at $100,000 to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) in Kumasi. The donation is intended to support the ongoing Heal the KATH project, an initiative championed by the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.
According to Ghana News Agency, the donated items include a dual ABS medicine trolley, hydraulic patient stretcher, patient monitor, cardiac tables, drop stands, and medicine trolleys. Additional contributions are wheelchairs, folding bed screens, electronic hospital beds, bedside lockers, and crush trolleys. Elder Isaac Morrison, Second Councillor of the Africa West Area Presidency of the church, emphasized during the presentation ceremony that the donation was made following a request from the leadership of the Heal the KATH project.
Elder Morrison highlighted that KATH serves as a beacon of hope for millions across Ghana and Africa, and the church's support is a moral commitment to aid in the healing of many, as exemplified by Christ. He remarked that the items are not merely tools but represent elements of healing and symbols of support, integral to Jesus Christ's teachings. Sharing love through actions is fundamental to the church's mission, he added.
Dr. Paa Kwesi Baidoo, Chief Executive of KATH, expressed gratitude for the significant support, acknowledging that it would greatly contribute to the successful completion of the project. He also appealed to the church to maintain their support for the initiative.
