GLICO General Insurance Company Limited has donated medical supplies and a cash amount of GH¢40,000 to the Tema General Hospital to pay for the medical expenses of some patients.
The gesture is to improve the quality of care for patients requiring intensive medical attention, particularly those in need of respiratory support.
Presenting the items at the hospital last Friday, the Managing Director of GLICO General, Andrew Achampong-Kyei, expressed the company’s dedication to social responsibility.
“As a company, we understand the importance of healthcare in the lives of Ghanaians, and we are proud to contribute in a meaningful way,” he stated.
Mr Achampong-Kyei indicated that the suction machines would support the hospital in its life-saving work, and the financial assistance would ease the burden on patients facing financial difficulties.
“With the festive season upon us, it’s important for everyone to join their families and celebrate together. That’s why we encourage everyone to be with their loved ones and make merry,” he stressed.
Furthermore, Mr Achampong-Kyei also expressed the company’s strong commitment to supporting the renovation of the hospital’s accident and emergency theatre.
He emphasised that the company recognised the importance of improving the hospital’s infrastructure and was ready to contribute to the upgrade of the critical facility.
Moreover, Mr Achampong-Kyei said the donation aligned with the company’s ongoing efforts to give back to the community and ensure that the hospital could continue providing high-quality care to those in need, especially in emergency situations.
“The company views this renovation as an essential step in enhancing the hospital’s ability to serve its patients effectively,” he stated.
The Medical Director of the Hospital, Dr Richard Anthony, who received the items expressed gratitude to the company for the equipment and financial support.
“This donation will go a long way in helping us save lives. The suction machines are vital tools in treating patients, and the financial support for those who cannot afford care will make a significant difference in their recovery,” he noted.
