ASA Savings and Loans supports Kaneshie Polyclinic

ASA Savings and Loans has donated vital medical equipment to the Kaneshie Polyclinic in Accra.

The items, which include suction machine, delivery beds, trolley with mattress, fetal doppler and bedsheets will support the facility’s efforts to provide quality and accessible healthcare to residents in the community.

The donation formed part of the organisation’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities aimed at improving healthcare delivery and contributing to the well-being of communities in which it operates.

Speaking at the presentation on Monday, the Manager for ASA Savings and Loans, Atico Branch, Irene Frimpong, said the choice of Kaneshie Polyclinic was deliberate and driven by a desire to make a meaningful difference at the community level.

“We chose Kaneshie because we want the donation to reach a community where it could make a meaningful impact. 

Hospitals in growing communities like Kaneshie serve many people every day, and this is an opportunity to support both patients and healthcare workers in a practical way,” she said.

She added that giving back was important to her outfit and was hopeful the items will bring some relief and help to those who needed them most.

Appreciation 

Receiving the items on behalf of the facility, the Administrator of Kaneshie Polyclinic, Yeboah Fordjour, described the donation as timely and expressed profound gratitude to ASA Savings and Loans for the thoughtful gesture.

“These machines are very critical to the patients that we manage here every day, day in and day out. We believe that this donation will go a long way for us to be able to attend to more patients,” he said.

He said the polyclinic had remained steadfast in its commitment to ensuring universal access to quality healthcare for all people within its catchment area, stressing that donations of this nature helped extend services to a wider cross-section of the community.

He noted that the donation coincides with a landmark year for the facility, as the facility celebrates its 60th anniversary. 

Mr Fordjour used the occasion to appeal to other corporate institutions to support the polyclinic’s drive to establish its first-ever operating theatre, revealing that an anaesthesia machine was the most urgently needed equipment to make that vision a reality.

“We encourage other corporate bodies and individuals to support us in starting a theatre at Kaneshie Polyclinic,” he appealed.
