Promasidor Ghana has donated GH¢489,900 to the National Cardiothoracic Centre (NCTC) at Korle Bu Teaching Hospital to fund 10 patients needing life-saving surgery along with essential medical equipment to the Kaneshie Polyclinic in Accra.

This gesture marks the company’s 25th anniversary and is part of its social responsibility agenda aimed at supporting Ghanaians.

The organisation also donated medical equipment to the Kaneshie Polyclinic. This equipment includes 50 oxygen masks, 2 patient trolleys, 2 myomectomy instruments, 2 caesarean section instruments, a patient monitor, a suction machine and tube, a bulb syringe and diathermy pencils. It aligns with Sustainable Development Goal 3 which reaches for Good Health and Well Being.

Speaking at the presentation, the Managing Director of Promasidor Ghana, Festus Tettey, emphasised the importance of giving back to society and expressed appreciation for the support Ghanaians have shown to their business.

“From our humble beginnings in 1999 in this same community, we have grown exponentially in product line and extensions. Charity, they say, begins at home. So we decided to mark our 25th anniversary by first equipping the health centre in our immediate surroundings with the needed medical supplies to make life and health care delivery more comfortable for all.”

Dr. Kow Entsua-Mensah further disclosed that “Last year, we donated GH¢335,700 for patients who needed life-saving heart surgery and this year we are here to offer financial support to 10 patients in line with our community support drive. That is the least we can do to support the good people who have supported our business for the past 25 years”

Meanwhile, the Director of the National Cardiothoracic Centre at Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, Dr Kow Entsua-Mensah, expressed gratitude and applauded Promasidor Ghana for their continued support in providing critical medical interventions for the needy.

“We at Cardio are highly appreciative of the support and partnership from Promasidor. Your support has restored lives and brought joy and hope to many patients and their families”.

Receiving the donation, the leadership of Kaneshie Polyclinic and the National Cardiothoracic Centre expressed appreciation to Promasidor Ghana for the big-hearted gesture.

The equipment donation and support to the National Cardiothoracic Centre is a community support initiative under the Promasidor Community Impact Drive (PCID) to support sustainable projects that drive social change, improve the quality of lives and address pressing societal needs of vulnerable groups.
