The Men Movement Club (MMC) at Anyaa Market has donated essential items to the Anyaa Polyclinic in the Ga Central Municipality of the Greater Accra Region to support healthcare delivery.

The donated items included two gallons of methylated spirit, dustbins, nose masks, Dettol, liquid soap, T-rolls, tissues, standing brooms, scrubbing brushes, bottled water, gloves, mosquito sprays, and nurses’ cups.

Presenting the items, MMC Chairman Frank Anokye said the group chose the polyclinic because of its proximity to members. “If a member is sick, this clinic is our first point of call before any transfer to a bigger hospital. So there is the need to support it,” he said.

Mr Anokye stressed that the club is a non-profit organisation set up to help its members and the community. “We are not here for any personal benefit. We exist to help ourselves and society,” he noted.

He appealed to government to continue and complete the Agenda 111 hospital projects initiated by the previous NPP administration. “Health is very important. We don’t have enough hospitals in this country, and not everyone has money to go to big hospitals,” Anokye said, adding that government alone cannot meet all health needs.

Receiving the items, Angela Nutsuakor, Head of the Infection Prevention Unit, thanked MMC and disclosed that the clinic lacks a standby generator and faces several other challenges that disrupt essential services.

She also called for a dedicated maternity block. “We need a maternity block so that women can deliver comfortably, just like other advanced hospitals that have better facilities,” Nutsuakor said.

She added that although the hospital is small, management is doing its best to provide quality care to patients.

Stephen Opoku, Organiser of the Men Movement Club, used the occasion to encourage the public to engage in regular exercise.

“It is very important to exercise your body at all times. That is why the club finds it necessary to organise health walks,” he said.
