Dr. Addo also recognized the exceptional efforts of Dr. Maxwell Okpoti Mensah, a distinguished Director of the Me Boafo Foundation, for his instrumental role in spearheading the initiative. His leadership and dedication were pivotal in bridging the gap between the hospital’s needs and the resources required to address them.

The ceremony celebrated the spirit of unity and collaboration. Healthcare workers were encouraged to utilize the X-ray machine to its fullest potential, ensuring it becomes a beacon of improved healthcare services. “This gift is a testament to the hard work of our healthcare workers and a reminder that the community stands beside them,” Dr. Addo noted.
