2009 Medical Supplies to Suma Health Post

In 2006, as part of a reconnaissance trip to Suma Ahenkro, CLT staff visited the Health Post in the village. At the time of the tour, there were no prescription refills in stock for daily health care administration. Additionally, the Health Post did not have basic instruments/equipment such as blood pressure kits, the appropriate hospital beds, and other necessary equipment. CLT Inc., in partnership with Honorable Frederick Opare-Ansah (MP for Suhum District) and Medical Missionaries, a non-profit organization in Virginia, obtained and shipped critical medical supplies to Suma. A sea container, with medical supplies valued at approximately $10,000 was shipped and delivered to the Health Post in 2008.

Donations included an assortment of both consumable and non-consumable Medical Supplies including stethoscopes, IV supplies, beds, mattresses, emergency kits, life pack defibrillators, etc.

The supplies were turned over to the Suma Ahenkro Health Post by the CLT Ghana National Director. The village chief, his elders, the District Health Director, and the Health Post Staff were at the ceremony to express their appreciation. Most of the (non-consumable) items donated are still currently being utilized at the facility.
