Ghana’s leading indigenous oil marketing company, GOIL Company Limited, has donated personal protective equipment and medical items worth GHS 50,000 to the Police Hospital in Accra, to enable them fight the spread of the novel Coronavirus pandemic.
The Police Hospital is the latest to receive donation from GOIL as the indigenous OMC continues to assist health institutions and frontline staff in the fight against the dreaded pandemic.
The items included medical scrubs, face masks, bed sheets, ‘Veronica’ buckets, liquid soap, tissue, hand sanitizers and gloves.
Making the presentation, the Group CEO/MD, Kwame Osei Prempeh noted that GOIL has already donated similar items to other institutions including the 37 Military Hospital, Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, GPRTU, Ashaiman Polyclinic and the National COVID-19 Trust Fund.
He said GOIL would continue to play its role as an important partner in the fight against the spread of the virus as part of its corporate social responsibility adding that the company would be of benefit to Ghanaians as the biggest and indigenous OMC in the country.
“GOIL will continue to partner and collaborate with the Ghana Police Service in the uninterrupted supply of fuel to the Police Service and other security services,” Mr Kwame Osei Prempeh added.
The Medical Director of the Police Hospital, DCOP, Dr Mrs. Marian Korboe, who received the items on behalf of the hospital, expressed gratitude to GOIL for the kind gesture.
According to her, the donation has come at the right time to help address the COVID-19 disease, specifically, to help the frontline staff to deliver effective services to the affected people.
Dr Korboe recalled GOIL’s assistance last year towards the rehabilitation of the Executive Ward of the hospital and thanked the company for its continued assistance.
