Wesley Girls’ ‘96’ supports Cape Coast Teaching Hospital
The 1996-Year-Group of Wesley Girls’ High School (WGHS) has presented equipment to the Neo-Natal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital, as part of activities to commemorate its 25th Anniversary.
The items included an incubator, two phototherapy machines, and a radiant warmer estimated at GHS100, 000.00.
The items were presented by the President of the 1996 Year-Group, Ms Leninsor A.D. Kakrabah-Quarshie together with other Executives including the Organising Secretary Mrs Akua Asare, and the Treasurer, Ms Francesca Bedzra.
The gesture according to her, was to contribute to the development of the Cape Coast community where their alma mater is located.
“Following a Joy FM documentary on the hospital, we decided to take up the project to minimise the anguish of parents, especially mothers, who have to watch on helplessly as their new-born and preterm babies struggle to survive due to lack of basic equipment such as incubators,” the 1996 Year-Group President added.
The Director of Pharmacy, Dr Joyce Ansong, Head of Paediatric NICU, Dr Robert Inkoom -, Deputy Director of Nursing Services, Madam Paulina Adomako and Kafui Agbedenu – Deputy Director of Finance and Budget jointly received the equipment on behalf of the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital.
Also present at the ceremony were the National President of the WGHS Old Girls’ Association – Mrs Effie Simpson, and the President and Vice President of the 1997 Year Group, who took over the 25th Anniversary baton.
“Wesley Girls’ High School, Cape Coast has a longstanding tradition of Old Girls undertaking various projects to support the infrastructural needs of the school, the community and nation as a whole.
“The group had previously hosted school’s 180th Anniversary Speech and Prize-Giving Day, as tradition demanded but were unable to host its Fundraising Dinner Dance last November due to the COVID-19 restrictions.”
Instead, on 30th April, 2022, the innovative young women organised a Fundraising Breakfast at East Legon to raise funds for their chosen project.
