NGO DONATES MEDICAL ITEMS TO HOSPITAL (PAGE 20)

RHODE Foundation, a non-governmental organisation at the weekend, donated assorted medical items worth $1,200 to the Seventh-Day Adventist Hospital at Koforidua.
The items comprised surgical materials, including lubricants, gloves, disposable sponge disk and tapes.
Presenting the items, the National Secretary of Rhode Foundation, Mr Benjamin B. Dei, said the donation was to support the hospital to improve on its services to patients most of whom came from the New Juaben Municipality.
He said the gesture was in line with the NGO’s initiative to support some selected health facilities.
Besides that support, Mr Dei indicated that the NGO had been working in some rural communities, where it had been training a number of pupils to help maintain a clean environment in their respective areas.
Receiving the items on behalf of the hospital’s management, Mrs Christine Osafo, the matron, thanked the Rhode Foundation for the support and said the hospital would use the items judiciously.
