A Ho based pharmacy, Trafalgar Gate Pharmacy, has donated hampers containing soap, tissues, diapers, bed mates, under pads, and baby-powders at a cost of GH¢6,000 to mothers who delivered at the materni­ty ward of the Ho Teaching Hospital on Monday to celebrate mothers.

Presenting the items, the Manager of Trafalgar Gate Pharmacy, Mr Emma­nuel Percy Senadza, said the gesture was in recognition of the important roles that mothers played in child birth, and other crucial roles they per­form to create happy homes.

According to him, the gesture formed part of the corporate respon­sibility of the Pharmacy to encourage mothers to continue to perform their distinctive roles and to promote growth of society, including giving birth to children and caring for them.

Mr Senadza added that, ‘’It is a general knowledge that some women died while giving birth, and that is one of the reasons why it is important to appreciate our mothers who gave birth and were in good health’’ he stressed.

Mr Senadza assured that the ges­ture, which was the first of its kind by his outfit and would be carried out regularly to create awareness about the special roles that women continued to perform silently and the need to appreciate them.

Furthermore, he announced that his outfit had introduced E-pharmaceutical services where health workers, includ­ing nurses could purchase drugs for their clients without stress, whenever the facility was in need of essential drugs.

He also lauded the professionalism of doctors, nurses, and midwives at the Ho Teaching Hospital (HTH) for ensuring safe deliveries over the years, saying the show of competence by the personnel of the facility would not go without recognition.

Receiving the items, the Maternity Ward Manager of the HTH, Ms Benedic­ta Torkornu, commended the manage­ment of the Pharmacy for the kind ges­ture, which she said was timely, since the items were immediately needed after delivery.

Kofi Mangesi won Men’s Group C with 40 points while Elorm R. Akuash Bonney claimed the Ladies’ version with 42 points.

In the Seniors Division, Jan Vogel emerged winner of the men’s category with 39 gross, while Helen Appah topped the ladies’ category with 44 gross.

Addressing participants, the company’s Board Chairman, Mr Ishmael Yamson, urged the company to approach its next phase with the same resilience, discipline and determination that have defined its success over the past three decades.

He drew a striking parallel between the game of golf and MTN Ghana’s three-decade journey, describing both as long games in which success depends less on one spectacular moment than on consistency, patience, judgment and the ability to recover from setbacks.

He said, golf had taught him a lesson that extended far beyond the fairways, thus, a round cannot be won on the first hole.

In golfing terms, he said, MTN Ghana had encountered its share of regulatory bunkers, competitive hazards and unexpected storms that had forced the company to pause, reassess and change its approach.

But those challenges, he suggested, were part of the journey rather than reasons to abandon it.
