Receiving the items on behalf of the management of the Pantang Mental Hospital, Madam Silvia Atiemo and Madam Priscilla both senior nurses in Charge at the hospital, heaped praises of gratitude on the members of Sons of Bacchus for continuously coming to the aid of the hospital and charged other well-meaning Ghanaians to learn from the VANDALS who are past students of Commonwealth Hall of the University of Ghana.

They added that the items donated by the Sons of Bacchus will go a long way to put smiles on the faces of the inmates of the Pantang Mental Hospital and urged the VANDALS to remain resolute in protecting the tenets of VANDALISM which is an accolade attributed to every past student of the only male hall of the University of Ghana and represents the belief that a true gentleman thinks of his environment, society and the well-being of all humans.

Ghana’s mental health facilities are reported to be in a very awful state with poor living conditions and low budgetary allocations and often in dire need of assistance.
