The alumni of KPMG, together with the firm, have announced plans to support the Paediatric Oncology Department of the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital with a Digital Pain-Free Venipuncture Unit.
The facility is expected to ease the experience of children undergoing cancer treatment and other procedures that often involve repeated and painful injections.
The commitment was made during the KPMG Alumni Celebration in Accra, where the project was presented as part of a wider effort to improve healthcare delivery for vulnerable groups.
According to the organisers, the new unit will include child-focused innovations such as virtual reality headsets and interactive games to reduce anxiety, ultrasound and near-infrared devices to make intravenous access safer and more efficient and topical anaesthetics to minimise pain.
