A team led by the Administrator of the District Assemblies Common Fund (DACF), Mr Harry Hanson, has officially handed over a new standby generator set to the National Reconstructive Plastic Surgery and Burns Centre of the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital.
During the presentation, Mr Hanson noted that as the premier and oldest hospital in the country, Korle Bu continues to play a critical role in Ghana’s health system.
He explained that the donation follows a request from the hospital for support to enhance its service delivery.
Mr Hanson further stated that the DACF, being a constitutional body mandated to ensure equitable access to essential socio-economic services such as healthcare across the country, found it necessary to respond positively to the Hospital’s appeal.
He expressed confidence that the generator, with a capacity of 500 KVA, will significantly improve power reliability and ensure uninterrupted operations in critical units.
Receiving the generator on behalf of the Hospital, the Chief Executive Officer, Dr Yakubu Seidu Adam, expressed profound appreciation to the DACF for its timely support.
He highlighted that the generator will serve vital departments, including the Plastic Surgery and Burns Centre, the Maternity Department, and the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), all of which rely heavily on stable power to carry out life-saving procedures.
Also present at the brief ceremony were the Acting Director of the National Reconstructive Plastic Surgery and Burns Centre, Dr Edem Anyigba, and other members of management and staff of both the DACF and the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital.
