J-Care Foundation Donates To Korle-Bu

As part of its core mission to improve the conditions of

children in Ghana particularly the less privileged, J-Care Foundation has

donated food items worth Seven thousand Ghana cedis to the children’s ward of

the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital. The donation which comes in the wake of the

pertinent challenges confronting the health sector of the country is expected

the address some of these problems.

Presenting the items on behalf of the foundation, Dr.

Kwabena Donkor who is a board member of the foundation said that Ghana is aware

of the efforts health workers put in to ensure that lives are saved on daily

basis. He noted that in most cases these health professionals face logistical

challenges which makes it difficult to for them to give of their best as a

result, innocent lives are lost.

Dr. Donkor commended the health workers at the children’s

ward of the hospital for their bravery and selflessless in the way and manner

they discharge their duties and urged them on to do more to save more lives.

Receiving the items on behalf of the ward the Deputy

Director of Nursing Services Mrs. Rebecca Lartey thank the Foundation for the

gesture and said it comes to them as a surprise. She indicated that the ward

deals with very serious emergency cases yet very little resources are available

to facilitate their work. Therefore she believes that the donation will to some

extent improve on their service delivery but called for more support to put the

ward in a more modern state.

J_ Care Foundation was established a year ago with the view

to addressing shelter, healthcare, educational needs and food security of

Ghanaian children especially the destitute.
