Liberty A/G Church supports 3 regions with medical supplies

The Liberty Center Assemblies of God (A/G) Church has donated medical items to some selected hospitals in the Northern, North East and Upper West regions of Ghana.

The items include boxes of catheter tray, disposable wipes, specimen container, phlegm suction unit, personal toilet seat cover, surgical gloves, oral syringe, face shield camera covers and syringes.

Others were absorbent pads, diapers, blood pressure cuff,  respirator bandages,  drainage bags, medicine caps, rock eye surgical items, cannulas/surgical cannulas urinary catheter and  other  medical  equipment and consumables.

The items were presented to the leadership of Assemblies of God Care for onward distribution to health facilities in the selected regions.

Assemblies of God Care is an organisation that works through locally established structures and churches, to empower local communities to address their developmental challenges.

Presenting the items, the Senior Pastor of the church, Rev Dr Sam Ato Bentil said his purpose for the donation was to support people and health facilities in the rural communities.

He said that the church had identify  hospitals in some parts of northern Ghana  such as Napanduri, Saboba and other places that may need these hospital essentials, adding that  “we as a church believe that this presentation would be very useful in those areas and the residents and health practitioners would benefit from them.

Rev Dr Bentil explained that the items were donations from Gateway Medical Alliance in the United States of America (USA) in support of the church’s hospital project.

He said the exercise would be an annual project which would be in connection with the church’s annual health walk and fun games.

Rev Dr Bentil urged Assemblies of God Care to ensure that beneficiary facilities receive them and urged the beneficiary hospitals to use them to help its patients.

Receiving the items, the Board chair of Assemblies of God Care, Mr Felix Afenyo said the donation was timely as the consumables were needed to provide adequate healthcare to the people in northern region.

The Head of the medical team of the Liberty Centre A/G, Dr Felix Aninagyei said the church did not only believe in the spiritual growth of the members but also in their physical growth, hence the donation.
