He urged the hospital authorities to count on the AMA at all times for support.

Dr Vanderpuije said Government is more committed to solve the challenges of the health sector.

Dr Adjoa Pinaman Appau, the Hospital Director, expressed gratitude to the AMA for the kind gesture.

She said apart from the infrastructural challenges, the provision of the food items came as a relief to the management of the hospital.
