Lapaz Assemblies of God Church supports hospitals in 3 regions
The Liberty Centre Assemblies of God (A/G) Church at Lapaz in Accra has donated assorted medical and sanitary items to the Assemblies of God Care, for distribution to hospitals in the Northern, North East and Upper West regions.
The items included boxes of catheter tray, disposable wipes, specimen container, phlegm suction unit, personal toilet seat cover, surgical gloves, oral syringe, face shield, camera covers and syringes.
Others were absorbent pads, diapers, blood pressure cuff, respirator bandages, drainage bags, medicine caps, rock eye surgical items, cannulas/surgical cannulas urinary catheter and other medical equipment and consumables.
The items were presented to the leadership of Assemblies of God Care for onward distribution to health facilities in the selected regions.
The Assemblies of God Care is an organisation that works through locally established structures and churches, in empowering local communities in addressing developmental challenges.
Presenting the items, the Senior Pastor of the church, Rev. Dr Sam Ato Bentil, said the donation was to support people and health facilities in the rural communities.
He said that the church had identified hospitals in parts of northern Ghana, including Napanduri and Saboba to benefit for medical essentials.
“We as a church believe that this presentation would be very useful in those areas and the residents and health practitioners would benefit from them,” Rev. Dr Bentil said.
He explained that the items were donation by Gateway Medical Alliance in the United States of America (USA) in support of the church’s hospital project.
Rev. Dr Bentil said the exercise would be an annual project which would be in connection with the church’s annual health walk and fun games, to support people in the rural communities and hospitals in northern Ghana.
He urged Assemblies of God Care to make good use of the items and ensure that beneficiary facilities receive them, and urged the beneficiary hospitals to use the item to help its customers.
Receiving the items, the Board Chairman of Assemblies of God Care, Mr Felix Afenyo, said the donation was timely as the consumables were needed to provide adequate healthcare to the people in the northern region.
He commended the leadership of the church for the gesture, and promised to ensure that beneficiary institutions benefited from the donation.
The Head of the medical team at Liberty Centre A/G, Dr Felix Aninagyei, said the church did not only believe in the spiritual growth of its members, but also in their physical growth, hence the donation.
