Obuasi diaspora donates GH₵10,000, medical equipment to Obuasi Government Hospital

Members of the Obuasi Links Diaspora on Thursday, January 29, 2026, paid an official visit to the Obuasi Government Hospital, during which they donated GH₵10,000 and a heart-checking medical machine to support healthcare delivery.

The team was welcomed by Emmanuel Antwi Agyei, Municipal Public Health Nurse and Head of Nurses, together with the Acting Director, Ransford Owusu, and other hospital officials.

The visit aimed at assessing the hospital’s needs and supporting patients facing financial challenges, particularly those unable to pay for medication, discharge bills, and post-delivery care.

Speaking on behalf of the Diaspora, Love Konadu explained that the donation was informed by observations that many patients and pregnant women struggle to settle hospital bills.

She noted that any remaining funds could be used to address other urgent needs. The donated medical machine is expected to improve the diagnosis of heart-related conditions.

Victor, Secretary of the Obuasi Links Diaspora, outlined plans for 2026, including the construction of a multi-purpose children’s facility at Boete in Obuasi East, featuring a computer lab, sports, and recreational spaces.

Hospital authorities appealed for further support, including a child-care facility for nurses, storage space for medical equipment, additional hospital beds, delivery beds, and wheelchairs. The Diaspora team acknowledged the requests and assured management of their consideration.

The Acting Director expressed appreciation to the Obuasi Links Diaspora for the timely support, describing the visit as impactful and a boost to healthcare delivery at the hospital.
