The Bulk Oil Storage and Transportation Company (BOST) Limited, a strategic fuel stock keeping company in the Republic of Ghana has made a cash donation to the 37 Military Hospital to support the hospital to procure personal protective equipment.
The donation forms part of the company’s Corporate Social Responsibility initiative.
Presenting the donation, Government Relations Manager at BOST, Yaw Antwi Dadzie said management received a letter from the hospital requesting support some months ago.
He said upon deliberations by management, led by Mr. Edwin A. Provencal, a decision was taken to honour the request no matter how small the amount would be.
He said management was of the view that the donation would help them to procure some personal protective equipment to enable them fight against Covid-19, since the virus is still lingering around.
Receiving the donation, Commanding Officer of the 37 Military Hospital Commodore Nii Adjah Obodai expressed gratitude to the management of BOST for supporting the hospital.
According to him, the donation came as a surprise because the request has been awhile and they almost forgot about it.
He noted that Ghana is not out of the woods of Covid-19 yet, saying: “We expect that we should be able to grind it to a halt.”
He mentioned that some nations are already experiencing the second wave of Covid-19, stressing that Ghana needs to get itself ready to deal with the worst situation.
