Kpando (V/R), Oct.
22, GNA – Mr Emmanuel Hanson Torde, Administrator, Margaret Marquart Catholic
Hospital, said the Hospital needed some rehabilitation works to improve its
services to the public.

He said the facility,
which was built in 1960 had not seen any major rehabilitation works with
sections of the facility “leaking seriously.”

Mr Hanson who was
speaking at the commissioning of a mother and baby unit for the Hospital at
Kpando, built by Mr. Prosper Bani, a former Chief of Staff, said the
rehabilitation of the Theatre, Emergency and X-ray block was necessary.

He said the
Patients’ Relative Lodge, which served as shelter for relatives of patients who
had traveled from far and had to spend the night at the Hospital, also needed
completion as such relatives were always at the “mercy of the
weather”.

Mr Torde further
called on stakeholders to serve as patrons of some wards by adopting the wards
and helping with its maintenance.

He said such gestures
would help reduce the burden on the Hospital.

Mr Torde called on
philanthropists and well-wishers to support the new baby Unit with modern
equipment to save mothers and babies.

Most Reverend Father
Emmanuel Fianu, Bishop of Ho Diocese, who received the keys to the Unit on
behalf of the Hospital, expressed appreciation for the gesture from Mr. Bani
and hoped that the Unit would curb the rampant neonatal deaths in Hospital.
