The items, which included several boxes of Robb Cough Mixture, Carex Hand Gel and Camel Antiseptic Liquid, were meant for the use and care of patients on admission.
The Head of Brand Development and Activation at PZ Cussons Ghana, Madam Hafsa Arthur, presented the items and said the donation was the first among several others to be made to the hospital.
She noted that similar donations and support had been made to hospitals across the country, citing a donation to the Mother and Baby Unit of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital in Kumasi, which was in response to a Joy FM report on the plight of babies at the hospital.
According to her, these donations were in alignment with a programme aimed at bringing healthcare providers and patients closer to medical resources.
She said in order to effectively facilitate the programme, PZ Cussons Ghana had partnered with the Ghana Medical Association (GMA) to educate and sensitise health professionals and patients to various health issues and provide them with the needed support.
“In line with our corporate mission of improving the lives of our consumers, PZ Cussons Ghana believes these items will help alleviate the challenges the hospital face and also go a long way to save lives and put smiles on faces,” she said.
Madam Arthur commended the management and staff of the Amasaman District Hospital for its hard work and dedication to provide better healthcare for patients at the hospital.
