The Methodist Guild, Ghana, is building an X-ray block estimated at more than 80 million cedis for the Wenchi Methodist Hospital in Brong Ahafo.
About 65 million cedis has so far been spent on the project that is about 90 per cent complete.
Mr. Samuel Kwasi Yamoah, National President of the Guild, announced this at the Guild's Eighth National Biennial Conference at the weekend.
The four-day conference, originally scheduled to take place at Tamale Secondary School, was moved to the Wenchi Secondary School due to the recent riots in the Tamale Municipality.
Mr. Yamoah said the lack of finance had restrained the Guild from completing the project on schedule and this compelled the Hospital's authorities to put pressure on them to hand over the project because the X-ray equipment were at the mercy of the weather.
He appealed to both members and sympathizers of the Guild to assist to complete the project by the end of the year.
Mr. Yamoah expressed concern about the crisis in the Tamale Municipality and called on the feuding parties to bury their differences to ensure peace and development in the area.
The Guild also presented 60 sacks of new and second hand clothes and shoes worth more than 60 million cedis for distribution to the needy in the Northern Diocese and the Wenchi Circuit of the Sunyani Diocese of the church.
Mr. Yamoah said the donation was the Guild's "widow's mite" to the welfare of the poor in the two areas.
