UMA donates medical equipment to Amomaso CHPS compound to end high-risk referrals
Underground Mining Alliance (UMA)-Subika donated assorted critical medical equipment to the Amomaso Community-based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) compound on Friday, 15th May, 2026. The donation included hospital beds, a delivery bed, an autoclave machine, an infant scale, a blood pressure apparatus, a thermometer gun, circumcision instruments, and a fetal Doppler.
The intervention is part of the company's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) policy and aims to improve holistic primary healthcare provision within the Asutifi North District. The mining company had earlier supplied GH₵104,000 worth of medical equipment to the Kramokrom and Koforidua CHPS compounds. The In-Charge of the facility, Joyce Sarfo, revealed that the staff frequently had to turn away or transfer patients who otherwise could have been treated on-site. Joseph Osei, UMA's Purchasing Supervisor, emphasised that "The company cannot employ every person, but our presence must be beneficial to residents, especially hard-to-reach rural communities."
Ms. Sarfo pledged that the team would use the equipment prudently and maintain it with care. Mr. Osei urged the facility's managers and the community to ensure strict, judicial use of the equipment to protect it for posterity. The company previously financed a GH₵700,000 walkway at the Asutifi North Government Hospital in Kenyasi.
