At least, 100 deliveries are recorded every month at the hospital and this includes pre-term babies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOut of 23 pre-term babies born at the facility between May and June 2024, three died. This unfortunate incident could\u2019ve been prevented if there was an incubator in the hospital\u201d, Sekyere East District Director of Health, Dr Justice Ofori disclosed.<\/p>\n<p>Until recently, the facility did not even have a firefly machine to treat jaundiced newborns.<\/p>\n<p>However, after several appeals a philanthropist donated one to the hospital.<\/p>\n<p>Realizing the need for an incubator in Effiduase Government Hospital, Kokrokoo Charities Foundation has presented one to the facility to improve child healthcare.<\/p>\n<p>Founder of the Foundation, Kwame Sefa Kayi said the social intervention is to help improve child healthcare.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are contributing in our small way to ensure that we have quality healthcare delivery in our country.
