Story: Della Russel Ocloo, Tema
THE Young Adults Fellowship (YAF) of the Tema Joint Church has donated 10 plastic chairs, detergents and toiletries at the cost of GHC1200 to the Tema Polyclinic.
The donation according to the group was to assist the hospital through the provision of logistics towards effective health delivery.
President of the group, Mr Samuel Kwadade Yirenkyi presenting the items said the donation forms part of their social responsibility obligations to society as a Christian organisation.
According to him, the group’s decision to reach out to the underprivileged society has seen them outline various outreach programmes for the year.
He was optimistic; the donation would be utilized effectively by hospital officials as they made strides towards providing quality healthcare to its teeming clients.
The Senior Medical Officer at the facility, Dr William Darko who received the items on behalf of the hospital, commended the club for the gesture which he said would go a long way to alleviate basic logistic problems facing the facility.
He pointed out that, the facility which currently serves as a major provider to health centers scattered across deprived communities in the metropolis was under immense pressure.
According to him, the facility which was built some 50years ago has not witnessed any major renovation, thus putting the life of workers and clients at risk following the weak nature of the structure housing the facility.
Continuing, Dr Darko, the unavailability of sufficient staff to cater for the over 300 daily out patients department (OPD) attendance has seen an ascendency in patient-doctor ratio.
He called for further assistance from corporate institutions as well as the metropolitan assembly towards addressing the challenges
