About Me

My name is Enock Gyau a 30 years old young man who lives and work at Ghana health service at sunyani in the Brong Ahafo region of Ghana.I started and completed my basics and second cycle education in the Easten region of Ghana.I atained my certificate as a biomedical scientist in the school of allied health science legon Accra.As a breliant and a good enterprenure, i established my own laboratory at Duayw nkwanta in the Brong Ahafo region when i completed school.It was not easy buying the equipment and other reagents. The lab. is closer to the main hospital so the attendance is very great, I have been able to employ two personnel who are helping me now so good services are being offered to the people.

My Business

In my laboratory,we offer services such as haemoglobin estimation ,sickle cell test ,malaria test ,full blood count,fasting and random blood sugar,testing for hepatitis B ,C syphlis,HIV test, and antenatal screening, i sat and realized that ,the population in Duayaw nkwanta here is high to have only one laboratory in the hospital so patients find it very difficult when there is a breakdown of equipment or shortage of regent in the hospital. So by establishing this lab, it has really help and is still helping the people. Currently,i have some of the equipment but I need to buy the fully Automated chemistry Analyzer machine which is being used by laboratory personnel in laboratories to run chemistry tests such as liver function test(LFT) ,Renal function test (RFT) etc.
There have been the need to get one of this machine in my laboratory because with the semi automated analyzer it takes a long time to run one test at time thereby prolongs turnaround time in the laboratory and this has been my major problem now.

Loan Proposal

I will use this loan to buy scan machine.
This is a machine used by sonographers and it is being requested by medical doctors to dertermine mostly in pregnant women the duration of their pregnancy and to aldo determine sex of the foetus and oher conditions. It has become necessary to get this machine because most doctor request this scan along with their laboratory investigation it will increase my profit since that of the hospital have break down for some time now and most patient especially pregnant women have to travel a long distance to do this scan
Also it will create employment since i have to employ a sonographer to use the machine
There are portable ones which cost around 1800 dollors

Counting on your usual cooperation
Thank you.

    Apparently did not realize that 1/3 of his loan would be taken from him for credit risk. Has not repaid back anything, and no further contact. Although I would like to see him repay this, it's difficult to stomach that the "fee" is so outrageously high.
