The items were jointly presented by Mrs. Akosua Newman a representative from the Rebecca Foundation, Deputy Volta Regional Minister, Maxwell Blagodzi and District Chief Executive (DCE) for Krachi-West, Mr Osei-Nti Douglas.

Mrs. Newman during the presentation emphasized importance of modern technology and how it has the power to make healthcare more accessible, cheaper, easier to reach, and easier to understand. She said, “just as access to healthcare continue to remain fragile, it’s especially important to explore the ways that technology can get better healthcare to more people”.

She was confident that, the items donated will add-up to ongoing efforts that has in recent times culminated in an increase in better healthcare provision and hoped that it will change the balance of forces that has hitherto kept this key sector in penury.”

Dr. Hilarious Abiwu, a Medical Superintendent, who received the items on behalf of the Krachi West District Hospital, was grateful for the gesture and called for more of such interventions from the government and other corporate entities.
