MAREDES support two Hospitals

The Marshallan Relief and Development Services (MAREDES), a Non-Governmental Organisation for the Knights and Ladies of Marshal, a Catholic friendly Society, has presented various medical equipment worth GH¢ 150 to two Catholic Hospitals to support their work.

The items which comprised Gynecological, Surgical and laboratory instrument and equipment were presented to National Catholic Secretariat (NCS) for onward distribution to beneficiary Hospitals: the Catholic Hospital at Battor in the Volta Region and the St. Gregory Catholic Hospital at Gomoa-Buduburam, (Liberia Camp) in the Central Region.

Mr. Edward Aloysius Prah, Board Chairman of MARESDES, in a speech said the donation was in line with the society’s aim to expand its charitable services to humanity.

He noted that the donation of medical equipment marks the beginning of series of activities to contribute to improved health service delivery, sanitation awareness creation and public health, which MAREDES has prioritized for the next three years.

He commended Dr. and Mrs. Nartey, accomplished medical officers and a specialist, through whose instrumentality the donation was made.

Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Abbey-Quaye, Assistant Secretary General of the NCS, who received the equipment, thanked MAREDES and Dr. and Mrs. Nartey for the donation, and appealed to benevolent and philanthropist to support the hospitals to further Christ healing ministry in the country.

Dr. Anita Appiah of the Directorate for Health at the NCS on behalf of the beneficiary hospitals, also thanked MAREDES and Dr. and Mrs. Nartey for the donation, describing it as an answered prayer to the health facilities, since the equipment were badly needed.

She said the items would go a long way to help in health delivery.       

Present were members of MAREDES, as well as Mr. Ekow Painstil, Supreme Knight of the Knights of Marshal and Madam Rose Erskine, who jointly presented the equipment to the Fr. Abbey-Quaye and Dr. Appiah.
