Salaga, Ghana – A media practitioner and native of Salaga in the Northern Region, Christopher Amoako, has presented 15 ceiling fans worth Ghc1,800 to the Salaga Government Hospital.
Speaking during the presentation of the items on Wednesday May 23, 2018 at the hospital, Christopher said he took up the challenge to help improve the poor ventilation situation in the wards of the facility when he visited a patient and realised the fans were few and the cases of CSM which is contracted as a result of excessive heat, was fast spreading across the country.
“When I visited him and realised he was sweating too much, I counted the fans in that ward which were four and only two were functioning so I quickly moved to other wards and the situation was not different. Owing to the news all over the media on Celebral Spinal meningitis, I quickly started a move to getting support of ceiling fans to the hospital ” Christopher recounted.
According to him, a lot of people showed interest and only a few donated to the cause.
He appealed to his colleagues working in the media to use their influence to cause a change in their various societies.
He thanked the Managing Director of the Ghana water Company Limited, Dr. Clifford Braimah, the Member of Parliament for the Salaga South Constituency, Mr. Adam Braimah, Mr. Michael Addae Venyo, Hajia Ibrahim Zuweira, formerly Ghana’s High Commissioner to the United Kingdom and Dr. Musah Adamu for their support.
Receiving the items on behalf of the hospital, the Medical Superintendent of the Salaga Government Hospital, Dr. Khalid Abdul Sharif, expressed profound gratitude of the hospital to the journalist for his contribution to healthcare delivery.
“Its always a delight to see community members contribute to healthcare and I must say that we appreciate the gesture and will ensure they are put to good use to serve the purpose for which it’s given.”
He used the opportunity to appeal to benevolent individuals and organizations to also support the hospital especially in the area of potable water.
