The items donated include 6 thermometer guns, 25 boxes of Surgical Face Masks, 25 boxes of Theatre Caps, 20 pieces of medical safety glasses, 20 pieces of coverall, and 10 pairs of medical clogs. The rest are 1008 pieces of carbolic soap, 180 pieces of hand tissue, 20 pieces of veronica hand washing buckets, 20 pieces of Plastic buckets, 10 gallons of liquid soap, and 5 gallons of hand sanitizer. The items were received by the Head of Surgical Department of the Hospital, Dr. Amponsah Manu.
Presenting the medical items to Management of the Hospital, the Koforidua Area Head of The Church of Pentecost Apostle Samuel Osei Asante said the donation is part of the Church’s Corporate Social Responsibility at the behest of the Chairman of the Church-Apostle Eric Nyamekye to augment government’s efforts in keeping coronavirus disease at bay in the Country.
Apostle S. O. Asante who is also an Executive Council Member of The Church of Pentecost commended Health workers in the Region for their relentless service to humanity in this pandemic. He was hopeful that the items donated would be used to protect health workers and also be used to take care of patients at the Hospital which is a Covid-19 Isolation and treatment center.
Mrs. Mary Amponsah Kwatia, Head of Administration at Eastern Regional Hospital commended The Church of Pentecost for the timely donation to the facility. She said current prices of PPE have skyrocketed due to demand exceeding supply globally. According to her, theater caps were in short supply at the facility therefore the 25 pieces presented among the tall list of items would go a long way to help the staff of the hospital.
Present during the donation was Apostle E. A. K. Ekuban-Suhum Area Head, Apostle D. Y. Nsaful, Effiduase Area Head, Pastor Isaac Eshun, Asamankese Area Head, and Apostle Lawrence Otu Nyarko, Kade Area Head
