The items included 59 electronic beds with their accompanying side cabinets, ultra sound devices, wheel chairs, food trays, other chairs and tables for office use and about 20,000 pieces of baby lotions among others.

The M&E Manager of TEERE, Mr. Maxwell Babilo Banu said the initiative and proposal that secured the donation from the German-base NGO known as the Inter-NATIONAL CHILDREN.

He further revealed that, the package from the Inter-NATIONAL CHILDREN to the Bongo District Hospital was the biggest ever single donation of medical wares and supplies it had done in previous years.


Having safely offloaded and secured a safe-house for the items, officials of TEERE say, they were now to meet management of the Bongo hospital and other vital stakeholders to fix a date for the formal handing over of the items.

TEERE is a national Non-Governmental Organisation with its headquarters in Bolgatanga. Its quest is to help deepen Ghana’s decentralization processes through its flagship programme, the TEERE Local Governance Forum and other engagement platforms that aim to bring the governed and the governor vis-a-vis for productive deliberations.


TEERE is also in the forefront of building a strong force of like-minded Civil Society Organisations [CSOs] in the Upper East Region, for regular interface meetings to share ideas in order to strengthen the impact of their interventions as well as, create a more fortified base to enable these CSOs attract the needed funding from multi-national funding agencies.
