The gesture according to the Mr Richard Kwao who deputised for the founder and leader the the group, Nii Amartey Amartefio, was to help the hospital address some challenges with regard to assisting inpatients.

The group, he said, had undertaken such donations in the past including assisting 30 fresh born babies and mothers with 30 hampers in September at the LEKMA Hospital the previous week.
“This donation to the LEKMA Hospital was from the October borns and we are focused on addressing societal challenges with focus on health, education and other areas,” he stated.

Receiving the items, Senior Nursing Officer, Mary Rhondi thanked the group for the support and urge others to come on board to support the hospital.
“The donation would go a long way to support the inpatients as we continue to appeal to corporate entities and individuals to come to our aid,” she stated.
The occasion was also used to provide a lecture on mental health, aimed at educating the public on mental issues.
Delivering the lecture, Ms Rhondi said, lot of people were going through various forms of mental disorders except it had not gotten to the stage of insanity.
She cautioned the public against the use of harmful drugs that could impact on their health while urging the public to support people with mental disorders.
“Drug abuse has been the main cause of mental issues especially among the youth and urge them to desist from such act,” she stated.
