The Ghana Airport Company Limited (GACL) has donated two dialysis machines and two chairs to the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives.
This contribution is aimed at alleviating the challenges faced by healthcare workers at the Korle-Bu Dialysis Unit.
The donated items, valued at approximately $112,000 (1.9 million Ghana cedis), will also fund one month of free dialysis treatment for 50 patients at the unit.
Speaking at the donation event, Mrs Yvonne Opare, Managing Director of GACL, expressed optimism that the donation would significantly benefit those in need.
“We’ve seen reports about equipment shortages at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital. As an organization, we’ve decided to make these donations, and I’m confident it will go a long way toward addressing some of the challenges here. Not only are we providing the machines, but we also want to make a difference in the lives of at least 50 people. Similar initiatives will be extended to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital,” she revealed.
Dr. Frank Owusu-Sekyere, Acting Chief Executive Officer of Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, expressed heartfelt gratitude for the generous donation.
“We are very grateful and promise to put these machines to good use. It is disheartening that individuals suffering from life-changing illnesses like dialysis treatment should have to struggle. However, we know that health is a shared responsibility, and we cannot do it alone, especially here at Korle Bu. This gesture from corporate bodies like yours is deeply appreciated,” he added.
