It was an exciting moment when telecommunication giant, MTN Ghana stormed the premises of some hospitals in the Western Region to celebrate this year’s Christmas with new born babies.
The hampers contained diapers, towels, baby lotion, cream and powder, wet wipes.
The Corporate Services Advisor for MTN, Southern Ghana, Kennedy Ofosuhene, said the move which has over the years become an annual event forms part of the company’s social responsibilities of supporting the well-being of Ghanaians.
In the company of some management and staff of MTN including the Area Sales Manager for South West, David Elinam Woasey, the mothers and their babies at the Effia-Nkwanta Regional Hospital, the Kwesimintsim Hospital and the Essikado hospitals were presented with a hamper each.
The Deputy Administrator at the Effia-Nkwanta Regional Hospital in Sekondi, Priscilla Naa Norley Armah, expressed gratitude to MTN Ghana for the gesture explaining that for some of the mothers, the presentation has come as a relief since all items in the hamper are necessities for the postnatal period.
She also advised the mothers to regularly wash their hands with soap under running water, use sanitizers and practice and live under strict hygiene rules to protect themselves and the babies who are susceptible to all forms of infectious diseases especially in the wake of Covid-19.
The beneficiaries, most of whom were well enough and due for discharge thanked MTN, saying it was a big surprise to them.
