The Chief of Army Staff (COAS) of the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF), Major General (Maj Gen) Thomas Oppong-Peprah, has made a generous contribution to the Public Health Division of the 37 Military Hospital at the Army Headquarters in Burma Camp.

He donated two Lenovo ThinkPad laptops and an All-in-One HP Desktop as part of his personal initiative to support the department's operations.

Maj Gen Oppong-Peprah expressed his motivation for the donation, emphasizing the importance of assisting the hospital, which faces equipment shortages.

He acknowledged the request for support from the Officer-In-Charge of the Public Health Division, Capt. (GN) Harriet Manu, and noted that not every leader actively seeks assistance. In response to Capt. (GN) Manu's appeal for aid, he felt compelled to provide support within his capacity.

Capt. (GN) Harriet Manu, who received the equipment on behalf of the 37 Military Hospital, stressed the significance of data in public health. She highlighted that the donation would help address certain data-related challenges, particularly as the number of recruitments increases.

The Public Health Division is responsible for occupational health and safety within the Ghana Armed Forces, including recruitment processes.

Capt. (GN) Harriet Manu expressed her gratitude for the timely intervention by COAS, noting that the donated equipment would significantly enhance the division's effectiveness and efficiency in its public health duties.

The equipment was formally presented to the hospital by the Chief Staff Officer (CSO), Brigadier General Brimah Brako Owusu, on behalf of COAS.
