HealthTech Ghana Limited has donated six dialysis machines and 2,000 consumables valued at $132,000 to the Ghana Medical Trust Fund (GMTF) in support of patients requiring life-saving renal care.

The donation forms part of the ongoing “Kyɛrɛ Wo Dɔ” (Show Your Love) Drive, an initiative spearheaded by the Administrator of the Fund, Adjoa Obuobia Darko-Opoku, who has consistently appealed to individuals and corporate organisations to support the Fund since assuming office in August last year.

Earlier this month, she encouraged Ghanaians to mark February, the month of love, by contributing cash or medical equipment to assist patients battling life-threatening conditions.

The equipment was presented at the Secretariat of the Ghana Medical Trust Fund, where officials described it as one of the most significant contributions received since the launch of the campaign.

HealthTech Ghana, a Ghanaian-owned company specialising in the supply of hospital equipment and medical consumables, said its decision was motivated by the work and commitment demonstrated by the leadership of the Fund.

National Sales Manager of HealthTech Ghana, Abigail Akua Amoah, said the company had closely monitored the Fund’s efforts to ease the financial burden on patients requiring specialised treatments such as kidney care and cancer therapy.

“Today, we are presenting six dialysis machines and consumables to help ease the burden of kidney care in Ghana.

This donation is worth $132,000,” she stated.

Receiving the items, Ms. Obuobia Darko-Opoku expressed appreciation to the company, describing the gesture as a true embodiment of the spirit behind the Kyɛrɛ Wo Dɔ Drive.

She disclosed that the donation would have an immediate impact, particularly in the Bono Region, where access to dialysis services has been limited due to the absence of adequate machines.

“For the first time, patients from the Bono Region who previously had to travel to Kumasi for dialysis will now have access closer to home. Some of these machines will be dispatched immediately,” she revealed.

According to her, the donation represents hope and relief for renal patients and underscores the importance of collective support for the Fund’s mandate.

She further reminded corporate institutions that contributions to the Ghana Medical Trust Fund attract 100 per cent tax deductions, urging businesses to take advantage of the incentive to support healthcare delivery.

The Kyɛrɛ Wo Dɔ Drive continues to mobilise support from individuals and organisations, as the Fund seeks to expand access to specialised treatment and improve health outcomes nationwide.
