In a significant boost to healthcare services in the North Tongu Constituency, Member of Parliament Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has donated medical equipment valued at $1.2 million to the newly constructed Mepe Health Centre. This donation is part of his ongoing efforts to enhance healthcare facilities in the comstituency.

The equipment, delivered in a 40-foot shipping container, includes a wide range of essential medical tools and supplies such as anaesthesia machines, ECG/EKG machines, ultrasound equipment, an endoscopy tower, an x-ray machine, infant incubators and warmers, autoclaves, defibrillators, a lab freezer, CPAP machines, labour and delivery beds, OR lights, suction machines, patient monitors, an oxygen system, pulse oximeters, surgery tables, vaccine storage refrigerators, wheelchairs, sphygmomanometers, and more.

Mr. Ablakwa expressed his gratitude to SOS International, based in the USA, for their reliable and generous partnership in making this donation possible. He also acknowledged the contributions of the Citi FM Foundation and the Ghana Chamber of Mines for sponsoring the construction of the health centre.

Reflecting on the impact of the donation, Mr. Ablakwa noted, “It is inspiring to see the results of our collective efforts at rebuilding North Tongu after the devastating spillage from the Akosombo and Kpong Dams last year. I am particularly delighted that this new medical facility is in close proximity to the resettlement camp we constructed for the displaced.”

Looking ahead, Mr. Ablakwa shared his vision for the future: “My goal is to expand and upgrade the Mepe Health Centre into a modern hospital by next year. With this impressive collection of medical equipment, we are well on our way to achieving that.”

This initiative marks a significant milestone in improving healthcare services for the residents of North Tongu, bringing them closer to having a fully modernized medical facility.
