Christian Community Microfinance donates to Nsawam hospital

Christian Community Microfinance Limited (CCML) has donated a 5-seater Biofil place of convenience at the old Nsawam hospital.

A press release issued to the Ghana News Agency on Wednesday in Accra, said, Mrs. Mary Mariamah Armah, General Manager Corporate Affairs CCML, who commissioned the facility, was elated to be handing over the facility to the people of Nsawam.
