The donated items are intended to support two critical initiatives: the minimally invasive surgery project (laparoscopic surgeries) and the Beautiful World Charity project.
According to the Minister of Health, Hon. Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, the donation will significantly boost healthcare delivery and further deepen the health cooperation between the two nations.
“We urge the leadership of LEKMA Hospital, under the capable direction of Dr. Akua Gyimah Asante, to ensure that this equipment is used effectively, maintained diligently, and serves its intended purpose, providing better health outcomes for the people of Ghana,” the Minister emphasized.
Dr. Akuah Gyimah Asante, Superintendent of LEKMA Hospital, highlighted that the donation ceremony serves as a renewed testament to the power of international collaboration, goodwill, and a shared commitment to improving healthcare delivery.
“The donation will improve our ability to provide quality care, ensure safer procedures, reduce recovery time, and achieve better outcomes for patients,” she noted.
The pharmaceuticals donated will also help alleviate the burdens on essential drug suppliers and enhance treatment continuity for clients. H.E Tong Defa, Chinese Ambassador to Ghana, mentioned that since 2009, China has dispatched 14 batches of medical teams to Ghana, with over 100 dedicated professionals providing voluntary, essential healthcare services.
These teams have gone beyond clinical care, facilitating the exchange of knowledge and supporting the training of Ghanaian health professionals.
The Ambassador emphasized that although the quantity of medical supplies may be limited, it will still significantly contribute to enhancing the diagnostic and treatment capabilities of hospitals in Ghana.
