The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, has donated equipment worth $100,000 to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) in Kumasi.

The items are to support the ongoing Heal the KATH project, which is being spearheaded by the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu 11.

The items included a dual ABS medicine trolley, hydraulic patient stretcher, patient monitor, cardiac tables, drop stands and medicine trolleys.

Others are wheelchairs, folding bed screens, electronic hospital beds, bedside lockers and crush trolleys.

Elder Isaac Morrison, Second Councillor, Africa West Area Presidency of the church, speaking at the presentation ceremony, said the items were donated upon a request received from the leadership of the Heal the KATH project.

He said the KATH was not just a hospital, but a beacon of hope for millions of people across Ghana and Africa.

Elder Morrison said the support was a moral deed of the church to help bring healing to many people as was done by Christ.

He said the items were not mere tools but elements of healing and symbol of support, which were part of Jesus Christ, adding that, sharing love through actions was central to the church’s mission.

Elder Morrison pointed out that health care was more than a service, but an expression of love and called on the staff to continue to work to help patients receive their health.

Dr Paa Kwesi Baidoo, Chief Executive of KATH, thanked the church for the massive support, which would go a long way to ensure the successful completion of the project.

He appealed to the church to continue to support the project.
