The Member of Parliament (MP) for Ho Central, Mr Richmond Edem Kofi Kpotosu, has undertaken a humanitarian outreach to health facilities in the constituency, sharing meals and donating items to patients as a demonstration of compassion and solidarity.
The MP visited the Ho Municipal Hospital and the Ho Teaching Hospital, where he shared lunch with patients and made donations to support those receiving care, while also encouraging frontline health workers.
Speaking to the Ghana News Agency (GNA), Mr Kpotosu said the outreach formed part of his commitment to the wellbeing of residents, particularly the sick and vulnerable.
“Healthcare is a critical pillar of development, and it is important that we stand with our people in times of need,” he said.
Mr Kpotosu noted that sharing meals with patients, though modest, was a meaningful gesture of care, compassion and encouragement during difficult moments.
Touching on his development agenda, the MP outlined his priorities for 2026, with a strong emphasis on youth employment and skills development.
“My vision for 2026 is clear: to open up avenues for sustainable employment for our young people,” he said, adding that an empowered youth population would drive local growth and development.
Dr Ekua Afful, a Paediatrician at the Ho Teaching Hospital, and Dr Efua Yankah, Head of the Children’s Ward, who received the donated items on behalf of staff and patients, expressed appreciation for the visit, describing it as timely and uplifting.
They, however, highlighted the need for additional medical equipment to enhance paediatric care in the facility.
Mr Kpotosu acknowledged the concern and reaffirmed his commitment to continuous engagement with relevant stakeholders to address health, social and economic challenges in the Ho Central Constituency.
