Moving Health, an organisation known for manufacturing tricycle ambulances to serve rural communities in Ghana since 2020, has reaffirmed its commitment to maternal healthcare through targeted training and equipment support.
With financial backing from the Trotula Fund, which champions initiatives to enhance the well-being of women and girls, Moving Health recently sponsored a two-part capacity-building programme for midwives and midwifery students in Tumu, Upper West Region.
Held on 15th and 30th May 2025, the training sessions focused on the Manual Removal of Retained Placenta and Manual Vacuum Aspiration (MVA).
Organised in collaboration with the Midwifery Training College in Tumu, the programme aimed to equip participants with vital life-saving skills.
In a parallel gesture of support, Moving Health and its partners donated essential medical equipment and IT resources valued at GHC 250,000 to the College.
Items included hospital and delivery beds, an autoclave machine, CPR and automated pregnant manikins, 25 desktop computers, and 14 UPS units to enhance hands-on learning for future midwives.
The donation ceremony witnessed the presence of key local health and administrative leaders, including the Principal of the College, Mary Saratu Adamah; Medical Superintendent of Tumu Municipal Hospital, Dr Ayariga Joshua Amikiya; Sissala East District Health Director, Dr Clifford Vengkungmene; and Coordinating Director of the Sissala East Municipal Assembly, Abubakari Musah.
As the training concluded, midwives took on mentoring roles, leading students through practical sessions, a symbolic moment of empowerment.
Moving Health and the Trotula Fund have pledged to continue the training programme for the next two years, envisioning it as a cornerstone in building a safer and more responsive maternal care system across the district and beyond.
