Dr Sakyi noted that the air-conditioning units would help safeguard diagnostic equipment and improve the reliability and efficiency of healthcare services provided to patients.
Mr Paul Suchmann Apenu, Social Responsibility Manager at Zijin Golden Ridge Limited, reaffirmed the company’s commitment to supporting the wellbeing of communities within its operational areas.
