ASA Savings & Loans Limited has donated medical equipment and essential supplies to the Kwesimintsim Government Hospital in the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis to support healthcare delivery and improve patient care.
The donation formed part of the company’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme aimed at strengthening healthcare services in communities where it operates.
Items presented includes an adult weighing scale, two wheelchairs, a fetal doppler, a blood pressure apparatus, two hanging weighing scales, two baby weighing scales, five boxes of examination gloves, seven gallons of disinfectants, two 240-litre bins, toiletries, tissue packs, hand sanitizers as well as 10 plastic chairs.
At a brief presentation, Kwesimintsim Area Manager of the company, Francis Gyabeng, said the company recognizes the critical role healthcare institutions play in safeguarding lives and promoting community development.
He noted that the donation was intended to complement government’s efforts at improving healthcare delivery while helping the hospital address some of its immediate logistical needs.
“Healthcare remains one of the key sectors we support because healthy communities contribute to economic growth and productivity. We believe these items will help improve service delivery and enhance patient care,” he said.
Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability Manager of ASA Savings, Richard Nartey, reiterated the company’s commitment to supporting social causes that positively impact lives.
According to him, the donation reflects ASA’s dedication to giving back to society and building stronger relationships with the communities it serves.
Receiving the items for the Kwesiminstim Government hospital, the Assistant Administrator, Nana Kojo Sackey expressed gratitude to the company for the timely intervention.
He explained that the hospital, which is strategically located along the Takoradi-Agona road corridor, receives a significant number of road accident victims but currently lacks a dedicated Accident and Emergency (A&E) unit.
“We are operating a temporary emergency ward with only three beds. Due to our location on the main road, many accident cases are brought here, making the need for a fully equipped A&E unit.
He therefore called on organizations and philanthropists to support the hospital.
