New York based development oriented NGO on Thursday presented assorted health
items to the Hohoe District Hospital at a brief ceremony.The items
include syringes, cutlasses, textbooks, calculators, cotton bags, and
surgical sponges worth millions of cedis.
Dr Aubrey Heath-Retemyer, Executive Director of PADF head of a
five-member delegation who made the donation said the Foundation's
gesture was in responses to an appeal by Togbega Gabusu VI, Paramount
Chief of Gbi Traditional Area in America.He said PADF sought to build,
develop and provide the networking channels necessary for African
communities as well as Africans in the Diaspora to advance
spiritually, physically and economically because, "we do not believe
in the superiority of one race over the other".
Dr Edwin Kobla Danoo, Medical Superintendent of the Hospital thanked
the Foundation for their benevolence and looked forward to forging a
mutual collaboration with PADF to solve some of the hospital's
problems.Togbega Gabusu appealed to PADF to explore the possibility of
wholly or partially assisting in the rehabilitation of the hospital,
which, he said, had not been rehabilitated in the past 50 years.
