The equipment included two ultrasound machines, beds, mattresses, anaesthetic equipment, theatre gear, kidney dialyses machines, laboratory equipments and other consumables.
The items were provided by the Louisville community in the United States (US) through the Sister-Cities of Tamale, a body that co-ordinates the affairs between Tamale and its sister cities.
Dr Sagoe said the donation had come at the right time, since the hospital was undergoing refurbishment.
“We need these equipment to facilitate quality healthcare delivery and teaching,” he stated, adding that sections such as surgery, orthopaedics and the wards would benefit a lot from these equipment.
