Melcom Deepens Corporate Social Responsibility …Refurbishes 37 Military Hospital Ward

By Mohammed Awal

Melcom Care Foundation, the social and charity wing of the Melcom Group of Companies, has handed over to 37 Military Hospital, a newly refurbished Maternity ward worth GH¢30,000.

Addressing Journalists at the handing over ceremony, the Director of Communication of the Melcom Group of Companies, Godwin Avenorgbo, said the initiative was part the company’s give-back-to-society agenda.

The project, he said, would go a long way to ensure “effective and sustainable” health delivery among nursing mothers. “Why maternity ward,” he asked rhetorically, “when you fill a form they ask you your place of birth. There is another place of birth which is the maternity ward. That is where we all begin our lives from, whether in a hamlet, village, town or city.”

Accepting the gesture on behalf of the Hospital, the Commanding Officer of 37 Military Hospital, Colonel Dr. Samuel Adjei thanked Melcom for the kind gesture expressing optimism that there would be more partnership between the two to metamorphose the hospital into a world class health facility.

“We extend our gratitude to Melcom for the kind gesture and we are looking forward to more of such help,” said Dr. Adjei. The Melcom Care Foundation was established to enable the Group of Companies give back to society in a more focused way than before and to re-invest the company’s profits into humanity and create a sense of belonging among the members of the communities in which the company operate.
