GMTF donates GH¢4m worth of medical equipment to KATH to mark first anniversary

The Ghana Medical Trust Fund (GMTF) has presented a substantial donation of medical equipment and consumables valued at over GH¢4 million to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) to commemorate its first anniversary. Led by Administrator Adjoa Obuobia Darko-Opoku, the donation encompasses a comprehensive Olympus endoscopy tower, jaundice meters, and various respiratory, oxygen therapy, and anaesthesia consumables.

This significant philanthropic gesture aims to bolster the hospital's capacity to administer specialized healthcare services.

KATH Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Paa Kwesi Baidoo, emphasized the timeliness of this intervention, given that the hospital's existing endoscopy machine had been operational for over a decade. He expressed that the support would substantially augment the hospital's ability to deliver high-quality care to its patients.

Beyond the immediate donation, the GMTF is also financing the construction of a cardiac intervention center at KATH, a first for the hospital's 70-year history. Dr. Baidoo highlighted the remarkable scale of the Fund's intervention within its inaugural year, stating that "Your impact within just a year feels like you have been here forever."
