Ultra sound scanner for KNUST hospital

The Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) Hospital has received a 40,000-dollar Ultra Sound Scanner from the Ghana-Netherlands Business Association (GNBA).

The presentation was made through Miss Agnes Adwoa Amankwaa Arthur, a final year student of the Saint Louis senior secondary school, who placed second in a competition organised by GNBA. The packages for the first three entries in the competition, which was part of activities marking 300 years of relationship between Ghana and Netherlands, included scholarships and packages for their communities.

Miss Arthur's prize was a scholarship to pursue university education and the ultra sound scanner for the KNUST community. Mr. Henn Van Gestern, an executive member of the GNBA presented the prize to her and the community at the library of the University in Kumasi, on Monday said the Board of the National Partnership for Children Trust Fund would manage Miss Arthur's scholarship.

Professor John Sefa Kwadwo Ayim, Vice Chancellor of the University, commended the Netherlands for its continued support and interest in the development of the country. Dr Agnes Akosua Aidoo, member of the board of trustees of the Partnership for Children Trust Fund Fund, praised Miss Arthur for her imagination and creativity and said; "you should become a role model for girls in your community".
