Calvary Temple supports Suntreso Hospital with GH¢20,000 worth of medical supplies

Calvary Temple Assemblies of God, Bantama Branch, has donated hospital items worth over GH¢20,000 to the Children’s Unit of the Suntreso Government Hospital in Kumasi.

The donation, made on Saturday, October 3, 2026, formed part of activities marking the church’s outdooring programme and was intended to support the hospital in addressing some of its logistical and operational challenges.

The items included feeding tubes, oxygen regulators, computers, hand sanitisers, washing powder, sanitary pads, toiletries, baby diapers and other essential medical and hygiene supplies.

Speaking to OTEC News reporter Solomon Nimo on behalf of the Head Pastor of Calvary Temple Assemblies of God, Bantama Branch, Reverend Michael Asare Esq., the Associate Pastor, Reverend Francis Kwabena Akrasi, said the donation reflected the church’s commitment to supporting communities and public institutions.

He said the church recognised the important role healthcare facilities play in providing essential services and therefore considered it necessary to support the Suntreso Government Hospital.

“This donation forms part of our social responsibility as a church. We believe that the church has a responsibility to contribute to the wellbeing of society, and healthcare is an important area that requires our collective support.”

Reverend Akrasi said the church’s new leadership, under Reverend Michael Asare Esq., had made community engagement and practical acts of service a priority.

“Our new Head Pastor has a vision of giving back to society. We will continue to support institutions and communities in whatever way we can because we believe that God has mandated us to be a blessing to others.”

He noted that although the government continued to invest in the health sector, the needs of health facilities remained significant and required support from other stakeholders.

He therefore encouraged churches, businesses, organisations and individuals to support public institutions, particularly health facilities, through meaningful social interventions.

“When we come together to support public institutions, especially health facilities, we help reduce the pressure on government and improve services for the people.”

He assured that Calvary Temple Assemblies of God, Bantama Branch, would sustain its social interventions and continue to identify opportunities to support institutions and communities in need.

Receiving the items on behalf of the Suntreso Government Hospital, the Mother and Child Nursing Officer, Madam Francisca Adutwum, expressed appreciation to the church for the gesture.

She said the items would contribute to the hospital’s efforts to provide quality healthcare, particularly to children and mothers who rely on the facility.

“We are very grateful to Calvary Temple for this kind gesture. These items will be put to good use and will support our work, especially in the Children’s Unit.”

Madam Adutwum said donations were important because health facilities often required additional resources to complement government support and meet the growing needs of patients.

She appealed to other individuals, churches, corporate institutions and organisations to support hospitals with essential equipment and supplies.

“We appeal to other organisations and individuals to emulate what Calvary Temple has done. Supporting health facilities helps us to provide better services and reduces some of the burden on government.”

The donation forms part of Calvary Temple Assemblies of God, Bantama Branch’s community service initiatives, with the church pledging to continue supporting institutions and vulnerable members of society.
