The Liberty Center Assemblies of God (A/G) Church has donated medical items to some selected hospitals in the Northern, North East and Upper West regions of Ghana.
The items include boxes of catheter tray, disposable wipes, specimen container, phlegm suction unit, personal toilet seat cover, surgical gloves, oral syringe, face shield camera covers and syringes.
Others were absorbent pads, diapers, blood pressure cuff, respirator bandages, drainage bags, medicine caps, rock eye surgical items, cannulas/surgical cannulas urinary catheter and other medical equipment and consumables.
The items were presented to the leadership of Assemblies of God Care for onward distribution to health facilities in the selected regions.
Assemblies of God Care is an organisation that works through locally established structures and churches, to empower local communities to address their developmental challenges.
Presenting the items, the Senior Pastor of the church, Rev Dr Sam Ato Bentil said his purpose for the donation was to support people and health facilities in the rural communities.
He said that the church had identify hospitals in some parts of northern Ghana such as Napanduri, Saboba and other places that may need these hospital essentials, adding that “we as a church believe that this presentation would be very useful in those areas and the residents and health practitioners would benefit from them.
Rev Dr Bentil explained that the items were donations from Gateway Medical Alliance in the United States of America (USA) in support of the church’s hospital project.
He said the exercise would be an annual project which would be in connection with the church’s annual health walk and fun games.
Rev Dr Bentil urged Assemblies of God Care to ensure that beneficiary facilities receive them and urged the beneficiary hospitals to use them to help its patients.
Receiving the items, the Board chair of Assemblies of God Care, Mr Felix Afenyo said the donation was timely as the consumables were needed to provide adequate healthcare to the people in northern region.
The Head of the medical team of the Liberty Centre A/G, Dr Felix Aninagyei said the church did not only believe in the spiritual growth of the members but also in their physical growth, hence the donation.

Egypt will host Africa’s new flagship business summit this October, as leaders from across the continent converge in the newly built smart city of New Alamein for the inaugural Alamein Africa Forum.
The forum is scheduled for October 2-4, 2026 in New Alamein, Egypt’s fourth-generation coastal megacity.
The city combines advanced infrastructure, modern residential districts, international universities, cultural landmarks, and major tourism and investment projects under one master plan.
Dubbed “the continent’s premier gathering where political power meets entrepreneurial prowess,” the forum is expected to bring together over 20 African Heads of State and Government, senior leaders from leading international and regional financial institutions, and key players driving transformation across Africa’s most critical sectors.
Co-organised by the Government of Egypt, African Export-Import Bank, and AUDA-NEPAD, the Alamein Africa Forum is designed as a permanent biennial platform to advance strategic partnerships and unlock investment across Africa and global markets.[Afreximbank]
The agenda will focus on sectors defining Africa’s future: infrastructure, energy, digital transformation, manufacturing, critical minerals, health markets, and intra-African trade*.
The programme will feature high-level plenary sessions, sector-focused panels, closed-door roundtables, and structured B2B and B2G meetings aimed at facilitating concrete deals and long-term partnerships.
Special sessions will also highlight Egypt’s role as a regional hub and gateway to African markets.
The inaugural forum will be held in parallel with the 2026 African Union Mid-Year Coordination Meeting and the 33rd Annual Meetings of Afreximbank.
Organizers say the forum will serve as a launchpad to translate the African Union’s 50-year strategic master plan, Agenda 2063, into concrete projects, policies and partnerships that will define Africa’s economic trajectory for the next decade.
“In an era of shifting alliances and rising volatility, Africa can no longer afford to be a bystander in decisions that shape its own economic future,” organizers stated.
The forum aims to place the private-sector agenda at the heart of AU decision-making, lower investment risk, unlock capital, and build cross-border partnerships to strengthen Africa’s resilience to external shocks.
Located on Egypt’s Mediterranean coast, New Alamein represents Egypt’s vision for smart, sustainable urban development. Hosting the forum there is expected to showcase the city as both a symbol of African modernization and a hub for investment and innovation.
By bringing public and private sector leadership into one alliance, the Alamein Africa Forum is positioned to become Africa’s go-to space for turning commitments into implementation.

Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts Minister, Abla Dzifa Gomashie, has called on stakeholders in the Bono Region to raise the bar on professionalism and patriotism if the region is to unlock its full tourism potential.
Speaking during a familiarisation tour of the region, the Minister met with staff of the Centre for National Culture (CNC) and Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives (MMDCs).
The engagement focused on how to position Bono as a leading cultural and tourism destination in Ghana.
Gomashie challenged public institutions to take a cue from the private sector by improving service delivery and embracing efficiency.
“Our institutions must be intentional about the way we serve the public,” she said, adding that “We need stronger collaboration and public-private partnerships to attract the right investment and build the tourism infrastructure that will make Bono competitive.”
The Minister urged MMDCs to work hand-in-hand with the Ministry and its agencies to identify, develop and promote key tourist attractions in their districts.
She also stressed the importance of preserving cultural heritage while creating an enabling environment for investors in tourism, culture and the creative arts.
The Minister added that “Tourism is not just about beautiful sites. It is about stories, about our heritage, and about the opportunities we create for our people.”
“This work we do today is not for ourselves alone. It is for Ghana and for generations yet unborn,” she noted.
Dzifa Gomashie further called on all stakeholders to build on the foundation inherited from previous leaders and leave behind a stronger, more vibrant sector.
The tour forms part of the Ministry’s efforts to decentralize tourism development and ensure every region benefits from Ghana’s growing creative economy.
