The Western Regional Association of Nurses UK (WRAN) has donated some essential medical equipment to the Accident and Emergency of the Effia Nkwanta Regional Hospital to support and enhance the care of patients.

Mrs Kissi Ohene highlighted WRAN’s special resolve to support the hospital and even to adopt the A&E department. She indicated that the A&E will soon receive a nebulizer machine and an oxygen concentrator as part of the items for this year’s donation.
It would be recalled WRAN had previously donated an anesthetic machine to the hospital. Mrs. Winnie kissi Ohene concluded her speech with an inspiring statement: “This is just the beginning of good things to come, and the Western Regional Association of Nurses UK has many plans to support the care of patients at the A&E”.
The Medical Director of the Hospital Dr Joseph Kojo Tambil who spoke on behalf of the staff, management, patients and clients of Effia Nkwanta expressed a heartfelt appreciation for the gesture. He thanked Mrs. Winnie Kissi Ohene and the Western Regional Association of Nurses UK for their immense support in enhancing the hospital’s capabilities.
“I promise that these items will be used for the sole purpose they were donated and I will personally ensure that they are well maintained.” He said.
