She commended staff of the two health facilities and other healthcare providers across the country for their sacrifices.
Receiving the items on behalf of the Ridge Hospital, Dr. Ralph Armah, a Clinical Director and Senior Specialist, thanked the GSA for the kind gesture, saying the donation was timely as the hospital was finding it difficult in getting sanitisers for staff, patients and visitors.
He appealed to the public, companies and individuals to emulate the shining example of the Shippers’ Authority by supporting health facilities with sanitizers and other medical supplies to save lives.
