Over the years, Kpatia Health Centre in the Garu district of the Upper East Region has suffered from a lack of adequate medical equipment.
It has had an insufficient number of beds and mattresses and has struggled to accommodate patients. Due to these challenges, the Kpatia community has been calling for assistance from the government, NGOs, the general public, and benevolent individuals to provide the Kpatia Health Centre with adequate medical equipment to improve health care delivery in Kpatia and surrounding communities.
However, according to the community members and health workers in the Kpatia Health Centre, these requests have not been answered.
On Tuesday 11th October 2022, Mrs. Georgina Lardi Azumah the women’s organizer for NPP in Garu donated maternal beds, mattresses, and other health equipment to the Kpatia health facility. She maintained that this donation was in response to an appeal made to her by Abagre Matthew Alebsiba a member of the Kpatia community. Upon hearing his appeal, she visited the facility in July 2022. While she was there, she recognized that the Kpatia health facility was in dire need of support, and promised to do her best to provide assistance. Today, she fulfilled the promise she made to the Kpatia Health Centre and by extension the Kpatia community.
The chief of Kpatia who is also a health committee member for the Kpatia Health Centre, Naaba Seibu Seidu II received the items on behalf of the community and handed them over to the district health director for Garu district Mr. Hypolite Yeleduor. The director also received the items on behalf of the facility and handed them over to Mr. Wimpiini Emmanuel who is presently in charge of the Kpatia Health Centre. They expressed their gratitude to Mrs. Georgina Lardi Azumah and her team for the kind gesture and appealed to her and other benevolent individuals to provide more support for the Kpatia Health Centre.
