The University of Cape Coast (UCC) branch of the University Teachers Association (UTAG) has donated an Invasive Blood Pressure (IBP) monitoring device to the University Hospital to enhance healthcare delivery at the facility.
The gesture was in response to a request made by the hospital to the association to help improve healthcare services.
Handing over the equipment at the forecourt of the hospital’s administration block, the President of UTAG-UCC, Dr. Jerry Opoku Ansah, indicated that the donation was intended to position the health facility to provide quality healthcare to the university community and the general public.
He, however, assured the management of the hospital of more such donations in the future.
He challenged other philanthropic individuals and organisations within the university to contribute their quota in that direction, to enable the hospital to render services to people expeditiously and efficiently.
Dr. Ansah described UCC Hospital as a pillar in the University’s healthcare delivery system and reaffirmed UTAG-UCC’s commitment to supporting its growth.
He commended the staff of the hospital for their dedication and commitment to the provision of quality healthcare to clients.
The Director of University Health Services, Dr. James Kojo Prah, who received the item on behalf of the hospital, commended UTAG-UCC for the donation.
He said the significance of the equipment could not be overemphasised and urged other benevolent organisations to emulate the gesture.
He stated that management of the hospital would ensure that the equipment was used judiciously to encourage other public-spirited organisations to offer similar support.
Dr. Prah assured UTAG-UCC that the equipment would be put to good use and expressed hope that the association would continue to support the hospital.
He also appealed for support to procure an automated cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) machine.
