Dr. Richard Anthony who is the Medical Director of Tema General Hospital received the items on behalf of the facility.
“We are very grateful for the kind gesture. This will go a long way to support us because these are things we use on a daily basis but due to the pandemic, their uses have increased because even visitors to our facility need to use it too as well as our staff and patients. But this shouldn’t be the end of it; we would love to have more of you guys come to visit us and support us even after COVID-19 is over. Let’s all work together and support each other because health is key and we all need to keep healthy”, Dr. Richard Anthony added.
