Presenting the equipment on behalf of NIB, Mr Charles Wordey, the Head of Corporate Affairs said NIB placed importance on supporting the improvement of healthcare delivery in the country.
He affirmed the continuous support of such initiatives to improve the health of citizens adding that the Bank had been collaborating with the Ghana Armed Forces in areas such as; security and expressed the hope that the existing relationship between the two institutions would be deepened further.
The General Commanding Officer (GCO) of the Southern Command, Brigadier General Thomas Oppong-Peprah lauded NIB for the gesture, saying the presentation of the equipment came as a relief because the Medical facility lacked basic medical equipment to guarantee its proper functioning.
