The Medical Director for Whisper’s Magical Children’s Hospital Dr. Emem Offong has unreservedly eulogized Simplifi Networks for their generous donation to the health facility.
Dr. Offong made this remarkable appreciation to Simplifi Networks on November 15th, while receiving an oxygen concentrator delivered to the hospital staff by Mr. Ken Stober, the Chief Executive Officer of the networking and communications entity.
This was in addition to free Wi-Fi services he earlier promised to the hospital, on behalf of Simplifi Networks, the leading provider and distributor of networking and communications equipment in East Africa. The oxygen concentrator will aid in Oxygen therapy treatments.
Dr. Offong noted that the amazing interconnectedness of the hospital equipment aided by Simplifi Networks will effectively work towards ensuring ground-breaking medical services to vulnerable groups in Busoga Sub-region.
“We are very grateful for this kind donation from Mr. Stober, whose offer to assist the hospital with our Wi-Fi communications came as a pleasant surprise,” Said Dr. Offong.
“Being able to have our systems networked and connected will go a long way in helping us to provide high level quality medical care to the vulnerable and underserved mothers and children in the Jinja community,” Dr. Offong added.
Mr. Stober delivered this amazing donation during his visit to Jinja for a site survey of Whisper’s Magical Children’s Hospital, to assess and determine the technological needs of the charity health facility.
It should of course be remembered that Mr. Stober attended in person the Whisper’s Charity fundraising dinner, held at Protea Hotel Kololo at the end of October, hosted by Ms. Emolyne Ramlov, Whisper’s Goodwill Ambassador.
During the magnificient event which attracted a swarm of philanthropists and well wishers, he offered to provide better Wi-Fi communications to the hospital.
Against this background, his visit to Jinja was also a follow up strategy to assess what technologies the hospital needs, such that he delivers best on his earlier promises.
The portable concentrator is a medical device which aids in the provision of extra oxygen to patients and is easier to use and better able to provide a reliable source of oxygen for most patients than the oxygen cylinder.
