Tema, Dec. 30, GNA- The Embassy of the Republic of Korea on Tuesday presented medical equipment valued at 17,000 dollars to the Tema Polyclinic to augment its stock and provide quality health care to the people.

The equipment included Chemistry analyser, Autoclave sterilisation, diagnostic set, Perkins tonometer for checking the eyes, swivel chairs, nebuilzer, digital sphygmomanometer and blood pressure monitor.
