The Administrator of St Martin de Porres Mr. Owusu-Bempah in his welcome address acknowledged that through the celebrated broadcaster, Mr. Kwame Sefa Kayi, the hospital has acquired two baby incubators.  He mentioned that, currently, the Hospital is in dire need of an Ambulance. The Administrator also opined that lack of Ambulance impedes effective delivery health care and hence affects the move toward achieving the target of zero percent mortality rate.  Dr Stephen Kusi, the Medical Director of the Hospital, added that the facility hopes to develop a health system that ensures that people stay healthy always.
