There is a shortage of Drugs in the Infirmary of Koforidua Prison.
The paucity of medicines is debilitating against the delivery of quality basic healthcare to the inmates.
This was made known when the Medical Team of Pentecost International Worship Center (PIWC) -Koforidua, visited the Prison to provide health screening services to the inmates.
The medical team donated few drugs available to stock the infirmary on the plea of the Prison officers.
Elder Frederick Darfuor, a Pharmacist and Presiding Elder of PIWC -Koforidua who led the medical team said the situation is worrying given that most of the inmates reported cases of various skin infections.
“They said they didn’t have any medicine in the infirmary so we left every other medicine that we came with.”
He said congestion at the prison is a serious health concern hence lauded the initiative of the Church of Pentecost building modern Prison facilities in parts of the country to decongest prisons in the country.
The Medical Team prayed, and shared the Word of God with the inmates, encouraged them not to give up but continues to trust in the Lord.
The inmates were fed sumptuously courtesy a philanthropist who partnered the medical team.
