Koforidua Diocese Anglican Church rehabilitates Pat Memorial Clinic to provide maternity services
The Koforidua Diocese of the Anglican Church has officially inaugurated the rehabilitated Pat Memorial Anglican Clinic to provide maternity services and other quality healthcare to the community.
The fully-funded one-storey facility features a maternity ward, pharmacy, general Outpatient Department (OPD) and laboratory, among other essential units.
Speaking at the ceremony, the Clinic Administrator, Reverend Father Dr Isaac Sarfo Acheampong, expressed profound gratitude for the successful completion of the project, noting that the clinic stood as a testament to faith, vision, and community spirit.
He recounted that the facility, originally a maternity home, was inspired by the life and legacy of the late Patience Quartey and later continued by her daughter, Madam Kathlyn Ababio, both dedicated members of the Anglican Church.
Following their demise, the home became dormant until the family handed it over to the church, which rehabilitated it into a clinic committed to delivering holistic care to all, regardless of status, age, or background.
While celebrating the milestone, Rev. Dr. Acheampong underscored the urgent need to fully equip the clinic’s operating theatre.
He appealed to philanthropists, corporate bodies, faith-based organisations, and individuals to support the procurement of surgical instruments, anaesthesia machines, patient monitors, theatre beds, theatre lights, suction machines, diathermy and sterilisation equipment, as well as chemistry analysis and ultrasound machines.
The Administrator acknowledged the contributions of the Anglican Bishop of Koforidua, Rt. Rev. Felix Annancy, the Health Facilities Regulatory Agency (HeFRA), and other stakeholders for their roles in the rehabilitation and inauguration of the facility.
He emphasized that the clinic’s mission goes beyond treating illnesses, aiming also to restore hope, dignity, and compassion.
The Eastern Regional Coordinator of HeFRA, Mr. John Asomaning Agyapong, confirmed that the clinic had successfully met all requirements to operate fully and formally presented its operational licence.
The Deputy Eastern Regional Director of Health Services, Dr Samuel Borlabi, commended the church for its initiative, noting that the facility would complement existing health centres in the municipality and contribute to improving the overall well-being of residents.
Bishop Annancy, who also chairs the clinic’s Board of Trustees, pledged the church’s commitment to providing quality health services.
He urged staff to work with dedication and compassion, reflecting the church’s mission to serve humanity.
