In a brief ceremony to hand over the items to the hospital, the Deputy Managing Director-Marketing at Tobinco Pharmaceuticals Limited, Dr. Christopher Mensah said the gesture was in line with Tobinco Pharmaceuticals’ Corporate Social Responsibility especially regarding the need to support excellence in healthcare delivery.

“As a local and responsible pharmaceutical company, we see this donation as our way of giving back to the society to support healthcare delivery in Ghana” he said.

He, therefore, appealed to the authorities to maintain and optimize the use of these items.

He was extremely grateful as the items would be of great help to the hospital.

He bemoaned the challenges confronting the hospital and therefore called on other corporate entities to come to their aid.
