The Omanhene of New Juaben Traditional Area, Nana Kweku Boateng III, has lauded the residents of Koforidua Zango for bringing development to the traditional area.
He made this comment when the Eastern Regional Zango Chief, Alhaji Mohammed
Hashiru Issah IV, presented to him more than fifty (50) oxygen concentrators for
distribution to health facilities in and around Koforidua.
Welcoming the Zango chief and his entourage to his palace, Nana Kweku Boateng III said it is important to initiate self-help programmes to add up to what the government is rolling
out for the people of New Juaben “and this exactly what the people of Koforidua Zango are
doing”.
These works, according to the Omanhene cannot be achieved without harmony among the
people. “It is therefore key for all of us to promote peaceful coexistence in order to benefit from the progress that is coming to our cherished community.”
The Omanhene commended the children of Koforidua Zango living abroad for not
forgetting home, and the thought to provide the oxygen concentrators.
The Sarkin Zango together with the Gyasehene of New Juaben Traditional Area, Nana
Twumasi Dankwa, presented twenty pieces of the equipment, on behalf of the Omanhene,
to the Eastern Regional Hospital in Koforidua.
Nana Twumasi Dankwa said, he hopes the hospital would serve patients who are in dire
need.
Receiving the items, the Administrator of the hospital, Madam Mary Amponsah Kotia, was
extremely happy because, according to her, the oxygen concentrators have come at a time
when they are most needed. “And may God compensate, in abundant measure, those who
made this donation possible.” She prayed.
Other health centres which benefited from the donation are Jumapo Clinic, Koforidua
Zongo Health Centre, Koforidua Polyclinic and St. Joseph Hospital.
