The bank also donated an amount of GH¢5,000 in addition to food stuff, toiletries and other items to support the hospital's upcoming Christmas party.

Head of Strategic Planning, Research and Corporate Affairs, Dr. Kwame Baah-Nuako said the decision to embark on the clean-up is to support government campaign on sanitation.

Dr. Baah-Nuako said as a people-centered bank, they always seek to champion social activities to improve the lives of the unprivileged in society.

“The focus area for the Royal Bank foundation is health and sanitation so when we decided to celebrate our second anniversary, it came naturally to the bank to do things that support what the foundation is doing,” he added.

Dr. Baah-Nuako promised their continuous support to Princess Marie-Louise Children's Hospital.

Receiving the items and cash donation on behalf of the hospital, the Medical Superintendent, Dr. Eric Sefah said the donation was very timely as they prepare for their Christmas party.
