GOLDEN Star (Wassa Mine) Limited, in collaboration with Project Cure, an international non-governmental organisation, has presented medical equipment and supplies worth US$400,000 to the Akyempim clinic in the Mpohor Wassa East District in the Western Region and other clinics in the surrounding communities.
The gesture is aimed at improving health delivery in the area.
The Mining Manager of Golden Star (Wassa Mine), Mr Henry Tandoh, who made the presentation, said the donation formed part of the mining company’s corporate social responsibility to the people in the catchment area.
He said the specialised equipment which could not be used in the beneficiary clinics would be sent to the Effia Nkwanta Regional Hospital in Sekondi.
The Deputy Western Regional Director of Clinical Health, Dr Robert Sagoe, who received the items, commended the donors for the gesture.
Dr Sagoe said the Effia Nkwanta Regional Hospital needed many facilities to enable it to deliver quality service to people.
The Member of Parliament (MP) for Mpohor Wassa East, Mr A.E. Amoah, urged the monitoring unit of the district health directorate to ensure that the equipment was serviced regularly, since lack of maintenance had been the bane of the country’s facilities.
