Izwe Savings and Loans has donated medical equipment to the Yabi Community-based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) compound at Atwima Kwanwoma district of the Ashanti region.

This forms part of the company’s 10th-anniversary corporate social responsibility initiatives, for which Izwe set out to improve healthcare and educational edifices in the communities the company operates.

The CHPS Compound serves thousands of residents in communities including Kwanwoma, Atwima Akosomo, Atwima Dida, Techiman Mmerewadwa and Akyeremade. Some of the items donated were delivery beds, autoclave (sterilizing machine), bedsheets, curtains, screens, and dressing instruments among others.

The District Director of Health for Atwima Kwanwoma, Ms Comfort Suglo, who received the items on behalf of the facility, expressed appreciation to Izwe for the gesture. Miss Suglo said the items would improve the CHPS Compound and ensure quality healthcare delivery to the people. She was elated that the company presented the items needed most by the facility and expressed her heartfelt appreciation to the team.

“We cannot thank you enough for the medical equipment. This is exactly what we needed at this time. It’s going to serve many mothers in this community and help ensure quality health service at the Yabi CHPS compound,” she said.

Staff of the Yabi CHPS Compound also thanked Izwe Savings and Loans and encouraged the company to continue to support them.
