The Member of Parliament for Tano North Constituency, Freda Prempeh, has donated assorted medical equipment worth GH¢ 30,000 to the Bomaa Health Centre.
The items which included hospital beds, computer with printer, delivery set, wheel chair, mattresses, electronic table, baby weighing scale, sterilizer, among others, was in fulfillment of her promise to the community during the campaign.
The intention of the MP is to equip the maternity block of the hospital with modern equipment in her fight against maternal mortality in the area.
At a short ceremony, the elated Midwife In-Charge of the Bomaa Health Centre, Philomena Attipoe, thanked the MP for her benevolence towards the facility.
Madam Attipoe used the opportunity to appeal to the MP to do something about the deplorable nature of the Bomaa-Duayaw Nkwanta road.
The midwife said the bad road was a major problem to them since pregnant women who were referred to Duayaw-Nkwanta during delivery “go through hectic time before they finally get to the district capital, a situation which sometimes leads to so many complications and sometimes death.”
Hon Prempeh assured the Bomaa community of her preparedness to work around the clock to ensure the construction of the road.
She explained that she had already taken all the necessary steps to fix it by bringing engineers from Feeder Roads to do the drawings. She said the only thing left was the Government Releasing Funds for construction to begin.
The MP explained, “It is my desire to work hard to reduce infant and maternal mortality rates in the area.” She, therefore, urged pregnant women to attend to regular antenatal clinic to avoid complications during childbirth.
Receiving the items on behalf of the staff, Rostancilla Kuuzune, Deputy Director of Nursing Services (DDNS) of the Tano North District In-charge of Reproductive and Child Health (RCH), commended the MP for the items.
