The Global Village Africa has donated four brand new wheelchairs, packs of tissue paper, gallons of liquid soap, and hand sanitisers to the St Anthony Hospital at Dzodze in the Ketu North Municipality of the Volta Region, Ghana.

Vice-Chairperson of the non-governmental organisation (NGO), Torney Eglu, said that the items were donated to help improve healthcare delivery in the area.

St Anthony Hospital, according to Eglu, has been of immense help to the people and hence the desire for the NGO to provide the items to them.

‘The challenge faced by the medical facilities during this Covid-19 era must not be the borne only by the government or the administrators alone, but the collective effort of all spirited Ghanaians and individuals to ensure the facilities offer the best in healthcare delivery’, Eglu.

The Administrator of St Anthony Hospital, Ralph Tumawu, thanked the organisation for the gesture and urged other philanthropists to emulate their example.

Tumawu urged spirited individuals to generously donate to the needy fund to enable the hospital to provide free medical services to needy citizens.

Tumawu also said that the hospital needed basic life-saving equipment, hospital beds, oxygen concentration gadgets, patient monitors.

Information Technology Officer of the NGO, Samuel Wotordzor, said that the organisation would relay the needs of the hospital to its international partners.
