MP for Talaensi Boost Healthcare and Emergency Services

In a major boost to local infrastructure, the Member of Parliament for Talensi, Hon. Daniel Dung Mahama, has donated a substantial cache of medical equipment and essential supplies to the Talensi District Hospital and the Ghana Fire Service.

The donation, valued at over GHS 300,000, underscores the MP’s ongoing commitment to improving the quality of life and emergency response capabilities within the constituency.

A Lifeline for Healthcare
The medical contribution comprised a wide array of critical equipment designed to modernize local health centers and improve patient outcomes.

The consignment included high-priority items such as an oxygen concentrator, oxygen cylinders, electric beds, standard hospital beds, mattresses, and specialized delivery beds.

To support daily operations, the MP also provided wheelchairs, umbilical vessel catheter trays, thermometer probe covers, sterile examination gloves, iodine solutions, hand gels, and five boxes of assorted medical consumables.

In an emotional address, Hon. Mahama revealed that the donation of the oxygen concentrator was deeply personal, inspired by his late mother’s battle for life in Accra.

He emphasized that the device, which can be recharged with electricity, ensures a constant supply of life-saving oxygen even when traditional gas refills are unavailable.

His primary goal in procuring this specific technology is to ensure that no constituent is forced to travel outside the district to access basic oxygen services during an emergency.

The items were officially received by the District Chief Executive (DCE), Hon. John Millim Nabwomya, and the District Health Director, both of whom praised the MP for addressing the “critical challenges” facing frontline healthcare workers.
Support for Fire Service Personnel
Following the hospital visit, Hon. Mahama—accompanied by the DCE and District Education Director, Madam Christiana Ayinzoya—moved to the Talensi District Fire Service Station.

Responding to an earlier plea from the station, the MP donated 16 mattresses and a 55-inch plasma television to improve the living and working conditions of the personnel on duty.uuú

Acknowledging the broader “teething challenges” the service faces, he pledged to lobby the central government and stakeholders for further resource allocation to ensure the safety of the people of Talensi.
