In a deal expected to be worth over £1m in total, Sidhil, has won the first stage of a contract to equip six new hospitals currently being built in Ghana. Products selected for the new facilities include beds, mattresses, overbed tables, couches, screens, curtains, and ancillary products.
The hospital construction project will play a significant role in supporting Ghana's national socio-economic development and the United Nations Millennium Development Goals, especially those relating to reducing infant mortality, maternal health, and combating malaria and other illnesses.
The six hospitals are currently being constructed in communities across Ghana by British company NMS Infrastructure, designed in partnership with the Ghanaian Ministry of Health, and customised to meet each location’s identified requirements.
All medical equipment is being sourced from the UK through facilitators, The Medical Warehouse, supported by a UK-Ghana technical team. The Medical Warehouse supplies first aid and medical consumables and equipment for all medical, emergency, first aid, and training requirements.
Director, Laura O'Hara Lee, said: “We have worked closely with Sidhil to source the right products at the right price for this project. All the items selected are manufactured in the UK to the highest quality standards.”
