Former First Lady, Lordina Mahama has presented medical supplies and equipment to the Tishigu Health Center in the Northern Region.
Some of the items presented are hospital beds, delivery beds, overbed tables, wheelchairs, fridges, baby cots, baby cribs, baby carts, boxes of gloves, packs of syringes, baby scales, crocs, gowns, theatre uniforms and many others.
Speaking at the presentation ceremony and the health durbar on breast cancer and general health screening on Friday at Tishigu in the Tamale North constituency, she said breast cancer impacts many lives, but with regular screening and early detection, the disease can be addressed.
The wife of National Democratic Congress Presidential Candidate and former President John Mahama, whose foundation has supported numerous health facilities across Ghana over the years, expressed concern about the challenges facing the most vulnerable, particularly in rural areas.
She urged a collaborative effort to help close this gap in healthcare access.
She said; “By equipping our local clinics with these essential supplies, we are taking a meaningful step toward bridging this gap. We are working to make healthcare not for a privileged few, but a right for everyone.”
Madam Lordina Mahama added, “Our rural communities face unique challenges—the distance they have to travel to receive medical care, the limited resources at these rural health care facilities, and sometimes lack of health care professional are all a challenge to their health and well-being.”
She pledged the foundation’s commitment to scale-up support to the less privileged in society to improve lives.
She said “As we move forward, let’s remember that this is only the beginning. Every donation, every act of kindness, creates waves of change—change that is essential to rebuilding our country.”
Member of Parliament for Tamale North, Alhassan Suhuyini said the Lordina Mahama Foundation prioritises healthcare and will do more to support the people.
