A cheque for GH₵20,000 and assorted items has been presented to the Princess Marie Louise Children’s Hospital at Arena, in Accra, by Unity Link Money Transfer Company, to support the hospital’s operations.
The Chief Operations Officer of the Company, Hajia Kabba, who presented the assorted items and the dummy cheque to the hospital on Friday, said it had done similar presentations to institutions and communities across the country in a bid to transform lives.
For instance, she said the company supported Ghanaian communities during the COVID-19 pandemic by donating relief items and funds to the COVID-19 fund and also had a charitable foundation that supported orphans living with disabilities in the country.
Receiving the assorted items, the Medical Superintendent of the Hospital, Dr Maame Yaa Danko expressed profound gratitude to the company for the kind gesture.
She said the money would be put into the hospital fund to support parents who could not afford the medical bills of their children.
She said the health facility, formerly known as the Nutritional Rehabilitation Centre that catered for nutritional-related diseases, had evolved over the years, and now had various departments and units such as the Out Patient Department (OPD), eye, ear, and dental units, and a specialist clinic.
Despite the evolution and expansion of the hospital, Dr Danko highlighted roof leakages, lack of adequate space to cater for the growing number of patients that visited the hospital, plumbing, water, and electrical problems as some of the challenges it faced.
She, therefore, appealed to corporate organisations and individuals to come to the aid of the hospital to enable it to provide excellent health care delivery to the children.
For her part, Mrs Adwoa Saah, who was unveiled as the brand ambassador for the Unity Link Financial Services, after the presentation, urged Ghanaians living abroad to remember the families they had left behind, and other vulnerable groups and support them in various ways.
Unity Link Money Transfer Company, she said was an indigenous company based in the United Kingdom (UK) and had been helping Ghanaians with remittances services to their loved ones for the past 30 years.
