Lawra MP rescues Municipal Hospital from operational crisis with GH¢100,000 worth of medical supplies
Bede Anwataazuma Ziedeng, Member of Parliament for the Lawra Constituency, donated GH¢100,000 worth of non-drug medical consumables to the Lawra Municipal Hospital to help the facility overcome severe operational and financial challenges. This intervention, which includes examination gloves, syringes, needles, laboratory reagents, infusion sets, sutures, and detergents, comes in response to an appeal made by the hospital's management three months ago. Mr. Ziedeng stated, "I can assure you that without these things in a hospital, there is no hospital." He also pledged to provide additional consignments as funds become available.
Mr. Ziedeng highlighted his ongoing support for the hospital, including a GH¢62,000 refurbishment of its theatre, and other contributions to the municipality, such as motorcycles donated to the Lawra Traditional Council and the Circuit Court. Dr. Ziblila Musah, the Medical Superintendent of the hospital, received the items and revealed the hospital has been facing difficult circumstances due to low Out-Patient Department (OPD) attendance and poor revenue generation. He stated the hospital experienced stock-outs of essential non-drug medical consumables due to significant accumulated legacy debts owed to suppliers.
