An appeal for medical supplies and equipment by a nurse at the\u00a0Nyive Health Center of the Volta Region, received an immediate response from Volunteers for International Medical Aid, VIMA, a California-based International humanitarian organization.<\/p>\n

Vincentia Rita Sedofia, a Nurse at Nyive, a border community in the Ho Municipality, appealed to the Non-Governmental Organization through correspondence to support their facility which lacked basic medical equipment and supplies.<\/p>\n

The situation according to her, was impeding basic health care delivery in the border town.<\/p>\n

\"b1b4ea4d-2564-49c0-90dd-4e5fe5569ba4\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Her appeal followed a visit by VIMA to the facility.<\/p>\n

A twelve-member delegation\u00a0 from the United States together with their Ghanaian counterparts, were at the facility to donate medical supplies which include mattresses, bed covers, syringes, C-section equipment, detergents and hand gloves.<\/p>\n

The founder and CEO of VIMA, Francis Kwame Agbemafle, told Citi News<\/strong> his outfit would adopt the facility by periodically supplying it with medical equipment as well as deploying volunteers from the United States \u00a0to support workers at the facility.<\/p>\n

Volunteers for International Medical Aid, VIMA, is a California-based International humanitarian organization, established by a Ghanaian citizen living in the United States, to help provide the much needed medical aid to some rural areas of sub-Saharan Africa.<\/p>\n

The organization supports five orphanages in rural Ghana.<\/p>\n

Vincentia Rita Sedofia thanked VIMA for the swift response.<\/p>\n

The chiefs and people of Nyive, expressed their gratitude for the gesture, and called on other organizations to support the community in areas of education and health.<\/p>\n
