A group from the United States known as ABLE, has donated sophisticated medical equipment to the Enyan Abaasa Community in the Central Region to ensure the delivery of quality healthcare.

The equipment worth several thousands of cedis include modern hospital beds, scale, thermometers.

Due to inadequate hospital beds and other equipment most of the residents especially pregnant women refuse to seek medical care from the health center.

Donating the medical equipment, Leader of the Group, Nicholas Nicklma said the group has Enyan Abaasa community at heart and has been supporting the town for over fifteen years and is very committed to ensuring quality healthcare in the town hence their decision to donate the equipment.

He advised the health workers to put the equipment to go use and also adopt a good maintenance culture in handling the equipment to ensure they last long.

The Leader of the group was subsequently enstooled as the Developmental Chief of Enyan Abaasa Traditional Council.

Meanwhile, the Gyaasehen who doubles as the Acting President for the Enyan Abaasa Traditional Area Nana Kojo Okyere V in an interview with GHOne News, expressed gratitude to the group for its generosity.

He advised the nurses and hospital workers to take good care of the medical equipments warning that the Traditional authorities won’t spare them should any of the equipment get missing.

The Physician Assistant of the Enyan Abaasa Health Center, Christiana Bobuafor on behalf of the health center expressed gratitude to the group for its generosity.

She, however, lamented over the poor nature of the road leading to the Enyan Abaasa Health Center which has been abandoned for some time now and is causing miscarriages among pregnant women.

She disclosed that within the first 6 months of the year 2023, about fifteen pregnancies have been terminated while the women were on their way to labour.

Christiana Bobuafor claimed that drivers in the Community sometimes refuse to convey pregnant women to the Health Center to deliver especially at night due to the bad nature of the abandoned road.

She appealed to the government to as a matter of urgency construct the road leading the health facility and also appealed for the expansion of the center as the population of the town has increased considerably.

Christiana Bobuafor also appealed to the government to support the health center with accommodation for support night duties workers.
