Sunyani (Bono), Nov. 06, GNA – Suncity Club United Kingdom (Suncity Club UK), a social and welfare association, has presented 20 pieces of three-seater reception furniture valued at GH¢25,000 to the Sunyani Teaching Hospital (STH).
Mr Solomon Boateng, President of Suncity Club UK, said the membership of the Club comprised indigenes of Sunyani and other persons who had the opportunity to attend school in the municipality and were currently resident in the United Kingdom.
Speaking at a brief presentation ceremony at the Hospital in Sunyani, Mr Boateng said that beyond promoting the welfare of members, the Club remained committed to contributing to the development of the Sunyani Municipality and its surrounding communities.
He noted that the Club attached great importance to quality healthcare delivery and explained that the furniture was procured through contributions from members.
Mr Boateng pledged the Club’s continued support towards initiatives aimed at improving healthcare services and the wellbeing of the people.
He expressed confidence that the Hospital authorities would ensure that the furniture was properly maintained and utilised for its intended purpose of serving patients and visitors.
Dr Cardinal Kofi Newton, Chief Executive Officer of the STH, described the donation as timely, noting that attendance at the Hospital’s Out-Patient Department (OPD) had increased significantly since the facility was upgraded to a teaching hospital.
He expressed appreciation to the Club for the gesture and appealed for additional support, particularly in the area of furniture and logistics, to enhance service delivery.
Dr Newton said the Hospital now operated around the clock to provide uninterrupted healthcare services to patients.
Mr Ranford Antwi, Chief Executive Officer of the Sunyani-based Suncity Group of Companies, also commended the Club for the donation.
He noted that supporting and improving the status of the Sunyani Teaching Hospital was a collective responsibility and urged individuals and groups to contribute towards the development of the facility.
