RURAL BANK DONATES TO AKROPONG HOSPITAL (PAGE 32)

AMENFIMAN Rural Bank in the Amenfi East District of the Western Region has presented eight power voltage regulators, cables and accessories worth GH¢3,500.00 to the Wasa Akropong Government Hospital.
The items are to halt the frequent faults the hospital’s equipment develops as a result of power fluctuations.
The bank will support more than a hundred needy students in its operational areas through bursaries and a scholarship scheme.
Making the presentation, the acting Chief Manager of the bank, Nana Yaw Osiakwan II, said it was the social responsibility of the bank to see to the health and educational needs of the people.
He said with the provision of a new mortuary facility at the hospital, there was the need to ensure that the facility was protected.
The chief manager said the internal and external publics of the bank were very important to its survival, adding that it was therefore important to ensure that the needs of the people in its operational areas were not neglected.
“It is from good health we derive our customer strength. Therefore, if we fail to listen to or ignore what will make life comfortable for the people, then we are not only failing our host communities but also ourselves,” he added.
He recalled that in the latter part of last year the bank presented a set of track suits to the Amenfi East District Education Sports Department and a computer with its accessories to the Amenfi East District Mutual Health Insurance Scheme.
The Senior Medical Officer of the hospital, Dr Fred Yaw Sarpong, thanked the bank for the support, adding that the difficulties facing the facility were power fluctuations which caused damage to electrical gadgets.
He said the items would go a long way to help the hospital and commended the board of directors of the bank for its quick response to their request.
