Berekum Holy Family Hospital in the Bono Region is one of the Christian Hospitals in the region serving over 100,000 people, both Ghanaians, and other neighboring countries, but it is in die need of an X-ray machine to serve its clients.
The Administrator of the Hospital, Rev. Sister Reena V. John stated that the facility is currently not providing x-ray services because the X-ray machine is not working hence, forcing them to refer their clients to neighboring facilities for their x-ray services before they come back for treatment.
According to her, the faulty machine has been used for the past 10 years to support health challenges all these years and that some of the parts broken down cannot be acquired in the country unless imported, which is beyond the strength of the facility.
Rev. Sister Reena V. John added that support from individuals and organizations will be very much appreciated, and therefore appealed to other organizations such as Berekunmman Citizens Association, other philanthropic agencies, and stakeholders to come to the aid of the hospital to procure a digital x-ray machine.
She said, the lives of newborn babies are very precious and also appealed for a Photo-therapy machine to care for the babies, Radiant Warmer and Patients Monitor Machine.
The Human Resources Manager of the Hospital, Mr. Peter Queque also added that the Holy Family Hospital is doing its best to serve its clients all the time but insisted, challenges facing them cannot be solved alone by the facility.
He also revealed that the hospital has introduced E-folder at the hospital to monitor their client’s folders which have reduced the rate at which patients queue for treatment at the hospital helping in reducing time-wasting.
