The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has contributed a US$200,000 mobile health clinic to HopeXchange Medical Centre as part of its commitment to improving healthcare in Ghana.
This generous donation is aimed at improving healthcare outreach in Ghana, particularly in underserved and remote communities. The mobile clinic will enable the outreach team to provide essential health education, medical screenings, and specialised services to those in need, regardless of their location.
In an interview with Osei Owusu Bempah, Administrator of HopeXchange Medical Centre, during the handing-over ceremony, he stated that the mobile health clinic van would offer crucial, free, high-quality medical care to individuals who might otherwise have no access, including children.
“We have put in place strict measures to maintain the clinic and ensure it serves the needy for a long time,” he added.
Dr. Zohra Balsara, USAID/Ghana Health Office Director, remarked that the mobile clinic will deliver preventive, promotive, and curative health services directly to the doorsteps of those unable to travel to Kumasi and nearby areas.
The mobile clinic is equipped with an ultrasound machine, an echocardiogram machine, two examination beds, three consulting rooms, air conditioners, a refrigerator for vaccines, a generator, a power system, and other essential medical equipment.
This significant donation is a major step forward in enhancing Ghana’s healthcare system and is expected to positively impact the lives of many Ghanaians, improving access to essential medical services for underserved populations.
