A New Era for Pediatric and Child Health Education

The Paediatric and Child Health Sub-BMC at the Ho Teaching Hospital (HTH) has undergone a significant transformation. This change comes as a result of the refurbishment of its seminar room by the Interact Club of Sonrise Christian High School, a youth organization affiliated with the Rotary Club of Ho. The project, which was valued at GHS50,000, has turned the space into a modern and fully functional area for learning and meetings.

At a brief presentation ceremony, Mr Joseph Dzameshie, the Head of Sonrise Christian High School and also the Deputy Governor of the Rotary Club of Ho, praised the students for their leadership and civic responsibility. He emphasized that this initiative highlights the impact of youth involvement in addressing community needs. “The service above self is a core Rotary principle, and these young ones have truly lived it,” he said.

Modern Facilities for Enhanced Learning

The newly refurbished seminar room is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities. These include a 50-inch flat-screen television, a Lenovo laptop, an air conditioner, a mini conference table, 40 conference chairs, an MTN router, and new curtains. The room has also been repainted and redesigned to enhance its ambience and functionality.

Mr Dzameshie explained that the Interact Club identified the seminar room project as part of their annual community service initiative aimed at improving healthcare and education within the Ho Municipality. “We wanted to make a difference where it matters mostly helping those who help others,” he noted.

Gratitude from Hospital Officials

Receiving the facility on behalf of the Hospital, Dr Emmanuel Kasu, Director of Medical Services at Ho Teaching Hospital, expressed deep gratitude to the students and the Rotary family for their support. “This gesture is timely and deeply appreciated. It will go a long way to enhance our capacity for medical training, seminars, and research,” he added.

Dr Kasu pointed out that the refurbished space would benefit both staff and students rotating through the department, thereby improving the quality of learning and collaboration. Dr Selorm Tsrakasu, Head of the Paediatric and Child Health Sub-BMC, described the donation as “a demonstration of compassion and vision from the next generation of leaders.” He encouraged more youth groups to follow the example set by the Interact Club.

Contributions to Hospital Development

The Sub-BMC Administrator, Mr Emmanuel Gablah, also commended the Sonrise Interact Club for their initiative, stating that the refurbishment would improve productivity and contribute to better service delivery within the Hospital. Officials from the Hospital, including members of the Paediatric and Child Health Department, joined in expressing appreciation for the school’s contribution to the hospital’s development.

Mr. Dzameshie emphasized that community engagement remains a key part of Sonrise Christian High School’s educational philosophy. “We believe education should go beyond academics. It should shape responsible citizens who actively contribute to national development,” he said.

He also encouraged other educational institutions to identify similar community needs and find creative ways to support them. The Interact Club’s gesture underscores the value of collaboration between educational institutions and healthcare providers in promoting sustainable community development.

The Rise of AI-Powered Real Estate Discovery in Japan In Tokyo, a growing number of Japanese companies are leveraging satellite imagery and artificial intelligence to identify abandoned houses that could be repurposed or sold. This innovative approach is becoming increasingly vital as the country faces a rising number of deserted properties due to its aging population.

A Rare Case of Cannabis-Induced Cardiac Arrest in a Young, Healthy Woman A 26-year-old woman from Georgia experienced a life-threatening cardiac arrest after smoking marijuana. The incident occurred when her fiancé discovered her unconscious on the bathroom floor, prompting immediate emergency medical intervention. Upon arrival at the hospital, doctors confirmed that she had suffered a cardiac arrest, where the heart suddenly stopped beating. The woman had no known pre-existing health conditions and tested negative for heart-related issues such as arrhythmia. However, she was found to have high levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive compound in cannabis responsible for the "high" sensation. Doctors diagnosed her with ventricular fibrillation, a severe heart rhythm disorder that prevents the heart from effectively pumping blood and oxygen throughout the body. This led to what they described as a "cannabis-induced cardiac arrest." This case has rais...
