The Edward Osei Boakye Trust Fund has boosted healthcare delivery at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital (KBTH) with the donation of advanced equipment to the Dental and Haematology departments.
The Dental Unit received an ultra-modern dental chair worth GH¢345,006.35, while the Haematology Department was gifted a Laminar Flow Cabinet valued at GHC 198,000.00. These state-of-the-art contributions are expected to significantly enhance the hospital’s capacity to deliver quality patient care.
Speaking at the presentation ceremony, Dr. Matthew Boamah, Head of the Dental Unit, expressed heartfelt gratitude on behalf of the clinic. He emphasized the importance of the dental chair in improving patient experience and clinical efficiency.
“The new chair, equipped with advanced features, allows for smooth adjustments to ensure patients are comfortably reclined during procedures. Its integrated technology, including built-in lighting and tools, streamlines workflows and enhances precision for both routine and complex treatments,” he said.
Similarly, Dr. Amma Benneh Akwasi Kuma, Head of the Haematology Department, praised the foundation for its timely support. She noted that the Laminar Flow Cabinet will significantly enhance infection control and ensure a sterile environment for treating haematology patients.
