Trafalgar Gate Pharmacy donates hampers to mothers to commemorate Mother’s Day
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.

The attention of the Ministry of the Interior has been drawn to information that the Special Prosecutor (OSP), Mr. Kissi Agyebeng, has survived two assassination attempts while discharging his duties to the Republic.
According to the ministry in a statement, the Director of Strategy, Research, and Communications at the Office of the Special Prosecutor, Mr. Samuel Appiah Darko, mentioned the assassination attempt on Newsfile, a television station in Accra, on December 6, 2025.
He also claimed on the same programme that he had been handcuffed and beaten by 17 police personnel.
“Beyond the security implications of these claims, such dangers to personnel of accountability institutions, if true, can undermine the government’s efforts to combat corruption, which have intensified since it took office,” the ministry stated,
The Ministry has therefore taken up the matter with the seriousness it deserves with some preliminary findings on the alleged assassination attempt.
The ministry revealed that initial contacts with Mr. Kissi Agyebeng have revealed that the assassination attempts on him, as claimed, happened before this year.
“There is no record or report of such threats against his life at any police station or at any of the state security agencies in the country,” the statement further added.
Against this backdrop, the Minister of Interior, Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak has further directed that “Since crime does not expire, the Ministry has ordered a full-scale investigation into the claim of assassination attempts.”
The Ministry has also ordered an investigation into the claim by Mr. Samuel Appiah Darko that he was handcuffed and beaten by 17 police personnel.
The Ministry noted that it will update the public on the outcome of these investigations and the actions to be taken.
The Ministry of Interior has reiterated its commitment to protecting all lives and properties to ensure that all Ghanaians can conduct their lawful affairs without any fear for their safety.
