Telecel Ghana, through the Telecel Ghana Foundation, has donated essential neonatal medical equipment to the Kumasi South Hospital and signed a two-year agreement to adopt the hospital’s Mother and Baby Unit. The donation includes two Firefly Phototherapy Units, a Wall Baby Radiant Warmer, and an Infant Digital Weighing Scale to support the treatment and care of newborns, especially premature babies and those with complications.
As part of the partnership, Telecel will renovate the Mother and Baby Unit, provide essential consumables, and improve the facility to create a safer and more baby-friendly environment for patients and healthcare workers. Telecel Ghana CEO Patricia Obo-Nai said the initiative reflects the company’s commitment to improving newborn health outcomes and supporting healthcare professionals. Hospital officials and representatives from the Ghana Health Service commended the initiative, describing it as a sustainable investment that will strengthen maternal and newborn healthcare.
The donation marked the climax of Telecel Ghana’s month-long Ashanti Month celebration, which featured initiatives in healthcare, digital skills development, youth empowerment, financial inclusion, and customer engagement. Highlights included the launch of the Telecel Ashanti Codes digital skills programme, sponsorship of the Otumfuo Open Golf Tournament, a retailer forum for mobile money agents, community health screenings through HealthFest, and the Telecel Cashless Bazaar. Collectively, the initiatives underscore Telecel Ghana’s commitment to supporting long-term community development across the Ashanti Region.
