A United States of America-based non-governmental organisation has donated $10,000 worth of assorted medical and treatment products to the National Cardiothoracic Centre.
The donation, by Lily and Louis Baah Foundation based in North Carolina, USA, was facilitated by the Accra City Chapter of the Full Gospel Business Men’s Fellowship International and Dakoma Ventures Limited, local representatives of the foundation.
The items included belted undergarments, new-born ostomy pouches, protective underwears, pouchkins-paediatric skin barriers, fistula and wound management systems and suction catheters with control ports.
Messrs Isaac Mawunyega and Mr David Kulego of Dakoma Ventures Limited and the Full Gospel Business Men’s Fellowship International made the donation on behalf of the donors, while Professor Kwabena Frimpong-Boateng, director of the centre received the items.
According to the representatives, this was the first time the foundation was making a donation to the country as part of its social responsibility to the nation.
They said the foundation was jointly established by Louis Baah, a Ghanaian, and his African-American wife, Lily, three years ago to solicit funds to help Africa.
The Director of the National Cardiothoracic Centre, Prof. Frimpong-Boateng, thanked the foundation for the donation.
He appealed to other philanthropists to support the centre to enable it to discharge its functions efficiently and effectively.
