The maternity ward of the Police Hospital in Accra has received a major boost following the donation of 10 air conditioners valued at GH¢85,000 from Comfee Ghana Limited to improve comfort for patients and healthcare workers.
The air conditioning units—comprising 1.5HP, 2.0HP and 2.5HP models—are expected to help create a more conducive environment for mothers receiving care at the facility.
Presenting the items, the Executive Director of the company, Pearl Gborglah, said the gesture formed part of Comfee Ghana’s commitment to supporting healthcare institutions and the communities they serve.
She explained that beyond offering home appliances, businesses had a responsibility to contribute meaningfully to social wellbeing.
“As a company that specialises in providing high-quality air conditioning solutions, we recognise that comfort plays a crucial role in the healing process,” she said.
According to her, the maternity ward was selected because of the vital role women play in families and communities, stressing that creating a comfortable environment for mothers during treatment and recovery was essential.
“We hope these air conditioners will help create a cooler and more comfortable environment for them, offering some relief as they focus on their recovery,” she added.
Receiving the items on behalf of the hospital, the Deputy Medical Director, Dr Azue-in-yeng Luke Zakpaa, who holds the rank of Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCOP), expressed appreciation for the support and called on other organisations to emulate the gesture.
He noted that the Police Hospital handled a high volume of patients, particularly accident cases, and often required additional logistical support to sustain quality healthcare delivery.
“We want our partners to support us with equipment, drugs and consumables so we can expand our services,” he said.
Dr Zakpaa also highlighted the high cost of medical equipment and the frequent need to replace worn-out machines, stressing that the donation would help ease some of the operational challenges faced by the facility.
He appealed to Comfee Ghana Limited to continue its support for the hospital as it worked to improve healthcare services for the public.
