The container with all its life-saving medical equipment has arrived fully intact at Tamale Teaching Hospital. I wish to thank each of you for your generosity, help and support in making this possible. The supplies and equipment are quickly being put to good use with our many sick patients.
The poor people of northern Ghana would surely welcome you into their homes, give you water, mangoes and their love if they knew how to reach you. I pass their deep appreciation on to you.
Sincerely,
Jim Murphy, MD
PS With the newly donated scrub suits, surgery will no longer have to be cancelled due to lack of clean ones (we only had seven pairs), the headlights will enable us to effectively diagnose our clinic patients and perform better surgery (we were working in the clinic with only one broken mirror Storz-Lempert headlight), the drill bits and microscope drapes will allow us to again perform ear surgery, the two anesthetic machines will add to our three machines, only one of which is fully functional, and with the new supply of tracheostomy tubes we can stop using ones that have expired. Tears came to my eyes when the container doors were opened and I saw the needed equipment that took a great deal of work on the part of so many generous, donating people .
