It is the result of a needs assessment by the Health and Safety team at Newmont on the critical health challenges of the ward.
As the third largest hospital in Africa and the leading referral centre in the country, the facility serves the needs of paediatric and childcare services in Ghana.
Receiving the items, the Acting Head of the Department for the children’s ward at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, Dr Taiba Jibril Afaa, said the donation was timely and will significantly enhance the hospital’s capacity to provide quality healthcare to the children under their care.
