The Trinity Temple of the International Central Gospel Church (ICGC) in Kumasi has donated office furniture to consulting rooms of the newly refurbished Psychiatry Unit of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH).
The donation, valued at approximately GH₵75,000, was made possible through contributions from the church's “Healthy Mind Offering” project, set up to support various health organisation in the country and beyond.
Head Pastor, Rev. Sylvanus Sowah Odotei, said through the “Healthy Mind Offering”, the congregation came together, united by the desire to make a meaningful impact on the lives of people who will walk to the hospital in search of healing and care.
“As people of faith, we believe in the power of compassion, service, and love for one another. It is these values that guide us in all our actions. The decision to support the refurbishment of this unit was not just a financial contribution, but a spiritual one as well’’, he emphasised.
He used the opportunity to thank the leadership of Pastor Dr. Mensa Otabil and his wife, Mrs. Joy Otabil, for the initiative to support humanity and the health sector in the country.
The items were received by the Chief Executive of the hospital, Prof. Otchere Addai- Mensah, who indicated the gesture came at an opportune time.
“This contribution comes at a crucial time as the Unit prepares to reopen its newly renovated ground floor for outpatient services, provide enhanced healthcare facilities to the community’. The support from Trinity Temple do not only reflect their commitment to improving healthcare services but also their dedication to the well-being of the local population,” said Prof. Addai-Mensah.
Head of the Psychiatry Unit, Dr. Ruth Owusu-Antwi, stated that she has witnessed firsthand the challenges faced by patients and the tireless efforts of staff members to provide compassionate, high-quality care.
She indicated the gesture would facilitate a conducive and comfortable healthcare delivery at the facility.
“The donation has come at a critical time as we work to enhance our facilities and create an environment that promotes healing and recovery. Your support will make a tangible difference in the lives of many, offering them a more comfortable and dignified experience during their time of need,” she said.
The renovation of the Unit was funded by the Ghana Gas Company.
