The Sefwi-Juaboso Area Women’s Ministry of The Church of Pentecost yesterday donated some items to the Juaboso District Hospital as part of activities for the “Juaboso for Christ” crusade.
The items were presented to management and staff of the hospital by a church delegation led by the Area Head, Evangelist Shadrach Ohene-Asa Otu, at a short presentation ceremony held at the hospital premises.
The church delegation included Deaconess Mary Ampah (Area Women’s Ministry Leader), Mrs. Beatrice Ohene-Asa Otu (Wife of the Area Head) and the area pastorate. Also present was the District Chief Executive (DCE) for Juaboso, Hon. Godfred Kwabena Agyei Asante.
The donation comprised gallons of detergents, liquid soap, sanitisers, mops, sweeping brushes, bedspreads, packs of bottled water, toiletries, children’s cots, baby wipes, diapers and a basket full of oranges.
Evangelist Ohene-Asa Otu, in his remarks, said that the donation is in line with the “Possessing the Nations” agenda of the Church aimed at influencing every sphere of society with principles and values of the Kingdom of God.
He commended the medical officers for their dedicated service to the people of Juaboso. He advised them not to seek transfers to other well-endowed districts in the country but rather contribute their quota in building the Juaboso District.
He assured them of the Church’s continued support and was hopeful that the donation would go a long way to aid their operations.
Mrs. Sertina Alipo, the Juaboso District Health Director, praised the Church for their continuous efforts to impact society through charitable acts. She also lauded the church leadership for helping to demystify the conspiracies surrounding the COVID-19 vaccines and encouraging Church members and the general public to be vaccinated.
She also thanked the Church for the donation and appealed for more support to better serve the health needs of patients.
The Senior Medical Superintendent at the hospital, Dr. Solomon Ayiah, was particularly impressed by the Church’s willingness to extend support to the hospital despite the current economic challenges in the country.
“This must have taken a lot of sacrifice. Indeed, words cannot say how much grateful we are to you for this gesture,” he said.
As part of the visit, the hospital management took the church delegation on a tour around the facility to assess firsthand the challenges faced by the hospital and how they could come to their aid.
The church delegation also prayed for patients and staff of the hospital.
