Ghana to receive free medical supplies from Denver
By Awudu Salami Sule, Ghanadot

Accra, Aug 2, Ghanadot - A container packed with about 400,000 dollars medical suppliers was last Wednesday July 29, shipped from Denver Colorado, USA to Ghana for distribution to seven hospitals in the country.

The container, sponsored by Newmont Mining Company in Ghana was the first of five such supplies being raised by Project Commission on Urgent Relief and Equipment (CURE), a Denver-based organisation. Every year, CURE collects and sends 50 million worth of medical supplies to hospitals in about 40 countries.

Before shipping the container, the First Lady, Mrs Naadu Mills and a delegation of health ministry officials inspected the CURE's warehouse in the USA where volunteers were sorting, labeling and packing donated supplies.

Funds for the project are raised annually at First Ladies luncheon, sponsored by Miller Coors.

Mrs Naadu Mills who was at the luncheon last Thursday said the donated medical items would surely save lives.

She said, improving maternal and child health was part of a strategy to transform Ghana into a middle-income country.

Mrs Naadu Mills declared the preparedness of government to properly maintain the donated items so as to serve its purpose.
