The MTN Ghana Foundation, has this year, supported some health facilities in the Upper East Region with infrastructure costing GH¢ 900,000.
The Foundation constructed a fully furnished administration block with printer and photocopier machines for the Ayamfooya Memorial Clinic at Kongo in the Nabdam District.
The Azoribiisi Clinic, also in the district, benefited from a three bedroom nurses apartment, a guest house and a three bedroom apartment to serve as antenatal services, delivery room, an Out Patient Department (OPD) and a consulting room.
Mrs Georgina Asare Fiagbenu, Senior Corporate Manager of MTN, who helped to inaugurate and handing over the projects, reiterated her outfit’s commitment to making sound investments in health, education, and economic empowerment for the development of the country.
She stated that the MTN vision was to help provide the basic needs and interests of communities assuring that, it would not renege on its efforts to identify data drive of communities to make it possible for all to enjoy the services.
She said November had been set aside as part of the seventh anniversary of MTN Foundation to celebrate data and work to add value to products to enhance services.
Mr Thomas More, Proprietor of Ayamfooya Memorial Clinic, who is physically challenged, thanked MTN for the administrative block, saying hitherto, the clinic performed its administrative activities in the open and on verandahs.
He solicited for more support to set up a training centre to run workshops for newly trained nurses posted to the district, and a KVIP for both the community and the OPD.
Dr Thomas Afful, Municipal Director of Health Services, expressed appreciation to MTN for the kind gesture and appealed to the community to help in the maintenance of the facility.
