The Hunger Project–Ghana (THP–Ghana), with funding from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, has officially handed over medical supplies valued at USD 165,000 to the Ghana Health Service (GHS).

The donation aims to strengthen health facilities across underserved communities in the Ashanti and Eastern Regions.

The comprehensive package includes autoclaves, vaccine refrigerators, ultrasound scan machines with printers, delivery beds, Infant AMBU Bags, Foetal Dopplers, antibiotics, supplements, and other assistive devices.

The handover ceremony, held at THP–Ghana’s Accra office, marked the official transfer of equipment to ten health facilities spanning five districts: Asuogyaman, Asante Akim South, Kwahu East, Abuakwa South, and Suhum.

This initiative forms part of the Holistic Opportunities for Positive Engagement in Maternal and Child Health (HOPE-MCH) Project, which seeks to expand access to safe, inclusive, and quality maternal and newborn care in vulnerable communities.

At the ceremony, Mrs. Agatha Quayson, Country Leader of THP–Ghana, highlighted the organisation’s longstanding role in improving maternal health in Ghana.

“The Hunger Project has a demonstrated commitment to improving maternal health in Ghana. Since 1996, THP–Ghana has partnered closely with the Ghana Health Service to address limited access to essential maternal and reproductive health services in over 450 communities.

CHPS facilities supported by THP-Ghana serve more than 350,000 people in rural areas,” she said.
