<\/p>\nA humanitarian Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) based in Ghana, Dantex West Africa, has donated assorted medical equipment to the Ga-West Municipal Hospital, at Amasaman, in the Greater Accra region as part of its charity works.<\/p>\n
The items included boxes of syringe, cannulas, cartons of disinfecting wipes, cartons of under-pads and boxes of essential medical and laboratory equipment were donated to the hospital by officials of the NGO on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The donor entourage was led by Director of the NGO, Mr. Joshua Venunye Dzaani and his foreign partner, Mr. Pylypenko Sergii, from Ukraine.<\/p>\n
At a brief ceremony to present the items, Deputy Director of Nursing at the Ga-West Municipal Hospital, Madam Diana Ofori-Larbi, who received the donations on behalf of the hospital, was grateful and thanked the organization for its benevolent gesture, saying the donation will go a long way to reduce the financial burden on the hospital.<\/p>\n
The Medical Superintendent of the hospital, Dr. Jarvis Abilla also called for more of such interventions.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
According Dr. Abilla, the hospital which is financially challenged, has been in need of the items and spends a lot of money to purchase them for use by their parents.<\/p>\n
Dr. Abilla who was speaking at a meeting with the officials of Dantex West Africa in his office shortly after the donation assured that the items will be mostly used on patients suffering from Buruli ulcer as well as pregnant women who have been operated upon.<\/p>\n
The soft-spoken Medical Superintendent disclosed that, the facility operates not less than 80 pregnant women through cesarean surgery in every month, and one hundred and eighty (180) women during peak hours in some months.<\/p>\n
He stated that in all these operations, patients are the major users of the items donated by the NGO and thus that is the main reason the hospital is so much grateful to the NGO; adding \u201cwe are just happy about this donation.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Dr. Abilla also used the opportunity to request from the NGO to find out if it could get what he called \u2018Patient Monitor,\u2019 a modern technological equipment used to easily diagnose some diseases.<\/p>\n
On his part, the Executive Director of the NGO, Mr. Joshua Venunye Dzaani, said his organization has taken note of the request and is more than willing to support the facility and other health facilities across the country.<\/p>\n
The director also said the team will also move to the Volta Region and some other deprived health institutions in the country in the coming days.<\/p>\n
He said the organization was established last year but has been operating behind the scene.<\/p>\n
