Dr Kingsley Agyemang, Member of Parliament for Abuakwa South, has donated medical equipment and consumables to the Kyebi Government Hospital in a bid to improve healthcare delivery in the municipality. The donation, valued at an unspecified amount, was handed over to the hospital on Friday, August 21, 2026.
Medical Supplies Boost Hospital Capacity
The donated items include three suction machines, three electronic weighing scales with height measurement, two pulse oximeters, 10 blood pressure machines, 10 thermometers, three electronic patient monitors, and 20 wheelchairs. The package also contained several boxes of examination gloves and a cardiotocography (CTG) machine. These medical supplies are expected to enhance the capacity of health workers to attend to patients at the hospital.
Clearing Patient Bills
In addition to the donation, Dr Agyemang settled the bills of all in-patients at the facility. This move is part of his broader commitment to supporting healthcare institutions and improving access to quality medical services in Abuakwa South.
Plans for a Dialysis Centre
The MP also announced plans to establish a dialysis centre in the area next year, describing the proposed facility as the first of its kind in the locality. The centre, he explained, would enable residents who require dialysis and other specialised kidney-related treatment to access such services closer to their communities instead of travelling long distances.
Collaboration and Support
Dr Agyemang called for stronger collaboration among government, individuals, businesses, civil society organisations, and other stakeholders to support healthcare financing and service delivery. He appealed to individuals, corporate institutions, development partners, and indigenes of Abuakwa South, both within Ghana and abroad, to contribute towards the development of the Kyebi Government Hospital. The hospital, he stressed, serves as a major referral facility for the municipality and requires adequate equipment, infrastructure, and other resources to effectively respond to the needs of residents and patients referred from other health facilities.
Health Summit to Address Challenges
As part of the broader agenda, Dr Agyemang is also expected to organise an Abuakwa South Health Summit to bring key stakeholders in the health sector together. The proposed summit will create a platform for stakeholders to assess challenges confronting healthcare delivery in the municipality and develop practical, long-term solutions that go beyond individual donations.
