Mr. Dai Jones, the President and General Manager of Tullow Ghana, said it is the conviction of Tullow that providing this critical equipment will enable the hospital see an immediate and significant impact on health-care delivery. He added that the donation was in response to a request from the Department of Anaesthesia for the support of the company in acquiring anaesthetic equipment.

The hospital recently suspended all surgery and handled only urgent and emergency operations in some vital areas. Some emergency surgeries were either delayed or referred to other hospitals due to the lack of capacity in the department.
