kumasi Hospital faces water and feeding problem

Kumasi, May 3, GNA - The Maternal and Child Health Hospital in Kumasi is facing acute water shortage especially at the labour wing, following the leakage of its overhead reservoir.

Dr. Christoph Debre, a Medical Superintendent and member of management of the hospital, said the Hospital was also grappling with the feeding of malnourished children at its Out-Patient Department. He was speaking to newsmen when members of the Saint Mary's Guild of the Roman Catholic Church at South Suntreso in Kumasi, presented food items, detergents, beddings and cleaning tools valued GH¢300 to the Hospital in Kumasi.

Members of the Guild also spent hours to tidy up the hospital's compound by sweeping and weeding open spaces as well as scrubbing gutters.

Dr. Debre commended the Guild for its contribution to enhance the survival and welfare of the children, stressing that the support was timely.
