As part of effort to curtail shortages of beds at the various health facilities in Ghana, Orca Deco Limited have presented 176 hospital beds to the Rebecca Foundation.
The beds worth Gh¢200,000.00 were donated to the Foundation through the first lady of the Republic of Ghana, Rebecca Akufo-Addo.
According to the Managing Partner at Orca Deco, Rayan Sharara, the gesture forms part of their commitment to resolve the “no bed syndrome” at the various health facilities nationwide.[ads2]
He praised the first lady for providing huge support for maternal and child healthcare in the country, stating that Orca Deco will always be ready to offer any support to help curb any form of societal challenge particularly in matters concerning women and children.
Mr. Sharara continued that the phenomenon of lack of beds in hospitals for new patients, particularly in the emergency departments commonly called the ‘No Bed Syndrome’ which sometimes results in preventable deaths is very disheartening and worrisome.[ads3]
At a short ceremony, the first lady was grateful to Orca Deco Ghana Limited for always responding to calls from her outfit to support the people of Ghana particularly on issues of affecting women, children and the vulnerable.
She highlighted on how Orca Deco was the first to donate 7,000 food boxes when The Rebecca Foundation launched the Relief Boxes Challenge to call on retailers to donate what they could to help those in need during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic which led to the lockdown of Accra and Kumasi.
Mrs Akufo-Addo reiterated the commitment of The Rebecca Foundation to promoting the well-being of all Ghanaian women and children and said it would continue to work earnestly in their interest. She called on well-meaning corporate organisations to partner with her outfit to address challenges identified in the health and the education sectors.[ads5]
