The Member of Parliament (MP) for North Tongu Constituency in the Volta Region, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has presented medical equipment worth more than GH¢18.7 million to the newly constructed Mepe Health Centre (MHC). The 40-foot container of items included hospital beds, ECG/EKG machines, ultrasound scan machines, endoscopy tower, x-ray machine, infant incubators, infant warmers, and autoclaves. The rest were defibrillators, lab freezer, CPAP, labour/delivery beds, OR light, suction machines, patient monitor, oxygen system, pulse Oximetres, surgery tables, refrigerator for storing vaccines, wheelchairs, and sphygmomanometre. Making the presentation on Sunday, Mr Ablakwa said the donation was another collaborative effort between his office and SOS International, an American Non-governmental organisation, after helping establish the John Evans Atta Mills Surgical Block at St Anne Hospital at Tagadzi in October 2022. According to him, the donation was another intervention in fulfillment of a birthday promise to the people of Mepe to equip the MHC with medical equipment and supplies, following the construction and hand over of the facility by Citi FM Foundation and Ghana Chamber of Mines in April this year.
