The Member of Parliament for New Juaben North Constituency in the Eastern Region, Nana Osei-Adjei, has donated GH¢5,000.00, streetlights, bottled water, toiletries, and soft drinks to St. Joseph Catholic Hospital.
The cash donation is to cover the medical bills of mothers who have delivered at the hospital and are unable to pay. The bottled water, toiletries, and soft drinks will be shared among the nursing mothers.
The streetlights are meant to help the hospital improve security in the area.
According to him, If the world is celebrating mothers whose contributions have been a phenomenon towards the development of Ghana, he can’t sit at home and enjoy this day with my family alone, hence the donation to the hospital to put a smile on their faces.
He added, “Women go through a lot of pain during the pregnancy period before they give birth to us. On a day like this, we have to show love and appreciate them for giving us life because it’s not every woman who does that…”
Nana Osei-Adjei reaffirmed his commitment to supporting women in his constituency so they feel truly recognized for their efforts toward the growth and development of New Juaben North.
Dejoe, as he is popularly called, also acknowledged the challenges confronting hospitals in the constituency. He stated that in the coming weeks, he will visit the health facilities to see how those challenges can be addressed to ensure smooth operations and the delivery of quality healthcare to clients.
Claudia Asamoah, the Unit Head of the Children’s Ward, received the items on behalf of the hospital’s management and thanked the MP for his kind gesture.
She used the opportunity to appeal for children’s beds, noting that the ones currently in use were in a bad state and unsafe.
“This is one of the key challenges confronting us, and we would be glad if we get support from philanthropists, stakeholders, NGOs, the government, or individuals anytime soon to safeguard the children from falling out of their beds,” stressed Claudia Asamoah.
The Women’s Organizer for the constituency, Dorah Quarshie, congratulated Ghanaian mothers on the special occasion and stated, “Before a mother can fully enjoy the aroma of Mother’s Day, she must properly train her children well.”
“In doing so, it helps you as a mother to be proud of yourself. Therefore, I will urge all mothers to train their children through the Christian doctrines, and this will guide their path to live righteously to become good leaders of the country.”
Dorah Quarshie further advised women to be respectful and supportive in their marriages.
“If they do that, their marriage would be attractive for others to emulate,” she said.
