The equipment which is worth over fifty GH¢50,000 includes some covered mattresses, JV Stand, Digital Blood pressure monitoring devices, Philips Heart start, Blood Glucose system among many others. The medical equipment was in response to an appeal he made to citizens from Berekum who are domiciled in the United Kingdom.The Member of Parliament, who expressed his appreciation to the Berekum Association in the UK, promised to work with government to ensure that more doctors are brought to the hospital to reduce high waiting time patients have to go through, as a result of inadequate doctors.A former Chairman of the Berekum Association, John Damoah commended the staff of the hospital for working tirelessly to save lives of the people despite the challenge they are faced with.
