GHS 1.5 Million Health Boost: Joana Gyan Cudjoe Delivers Lifeline Equipment to Amenfi Central

A major upgrade in healthcare delivery is underway in Amenfi Central after Member of Parliament Joana Gyan Cudjoe donated medical equipment worth GHS 1.5 million to the district’s health directorate.

The donation, presented at Agona Amenfi, was received by District Health Director Abdul Ganiyu Nuhu and his team, marking a significant intervention aimed at strengthening medical services across the constituency.

The consignment includes a wide array of essential equipment such as baby incubators, an anesthetic machine, heart monitors, oxygen concentrators, centrifuge, sterilizers, wheelchairs, delivery beds, and diagnostic tools. Health officials say the supplies will help address critical gaps in service delivery and improve patient care.

According to authorities, the equipment will be distributed across all 39 health facilities in the district to ensure equitable access and maximum impact.

The initiative forms part of the MP’s broader healthcare agenda, which includes plans to upgrade an existing health centre into a full-fledged hospital. Several Community-based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) compounds are also set to be elevated to health centre status, with the Juabo facility among the first expected to benefit.

The items were presented on behalf of the MP by a delegation led by District Chief Executive Peter Amponsah, alongside constituency executives and local government representatives.

Receiving the donation, Mr. Nuhu described the intervention as “timely and transformative,” noting that it would significantly enhance the capacity of health workers to deliver quality care. He assured stakeholders that the equipment would be properly maintained and used responsibly for long-term benefit.

The donation is widely seen as a critical step toward improving healthcare infrastructure in Amenfi Central, reinforcing public confidence and advancing efforts to build a more resilient local health system.
