Aside the medical supplies, the MP, also donated a photocopier machine and television set to the clinic.
He appealed to managers of the facility to put the items to its intended use and ensure that they maintain them well, in order to prolong its life span.
Receiving the items, the deputy chief pharmacist at the Ledzokuku Municipal Health Directorate, Rev. Dr Nathaniel Nyamekye, expressed gratitude to the MP for honoring the promise he made to the facility during his tour of the center sometime ago.
He said, the donated items will go a long way in improving the delivery of health care to the many clients who patronise the facility.
