Benefactors
The presentation was facilitated by the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) as part of its Temporary Return of Qualified Nationals (TRQN) III Project, with support from the ROC Mondriaan, an educational institution in The Netherlands.
Making the presentation, Mr Adu Twum said a crucial aspect of the package was the training of staff of the hospital in ICT skills to enable them to effectively use the ICT system for their work, and was optimistic that the presentation would further enhance the efficient operation of the hospital.
The Chief Executive Officer of the hospital, Dr Daniel Asare, who received the items, thanked Mr Adu Twum for the gesture and the government for making shipment of the equipment easier.
Mr Daniel Sam of the IOM Ghana said migration was not all about negative stories, pointing out that the IOM was committed to ensuring that Ghanaians outside the country were able to contribute their quota to the development of the country.
