The United States, through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), has donated a $200,000 mobile health clinic to HopeXchange Medical Center.
This generous donation aims to enhance medical outreach services for Ghanaians, particularly in underserved and remote communities.
The mobile clinic will allow the outreach team to reach underserved and remote communities nationwide, offering health education and medical screenings, including specialized services.
Speaking in an interview with the Administrator of HopeXchange Medical Center, Osei Owusu Bempah, at the handing-over ceremony, he said that this health clinic van will provide essential free quality medical care to people who otherwise lack access, including children.
He emphasized that the clinic will serve anyone in need, regardless of their ability to pay.
“We have put in place strict measures to maintain the clinic and ensure it serves the needy for a long time,” he added.
The USAID/Ghana Health Office Director, Dr. Zohra Balsara, noted that with the introduction of the mobile clinic, preventive, promotive, and curative health services will be brought to the doorsteps of those who are unable to travel to Kumasi and its environs.
The mobile clinic is equipped with an ultrasound machine and printer, an echocardiogram machine, two examination beds, three consulting rooms, air conditioners, a refrigerator for vaccines, a generator, power system, and more.
This donation is a significant boost to Ghana’s healthcare system, and it is expected to make a positive impact on the lives of many Ghanaians.
