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.

Ahyiresu and Abofrem, two quiet communities in the Atwima Mponua District, have been shaken to the core by a chilling midnight drama that reads like a nightmare.
A pastor and a young mother stand accused of attempting to bury a five‑month‑old baby girl alive, a crime that has ignited outrage and disbelief across the township.
According to police, Apostle Richmond Akwasi Frimpong, 36, Head Pastor of the Anointed Grace Prayer Ministry at Kuffour Camp, conspired with his uncle Emmanuel Appiah, 53, and the child’s mother, 23‑year‑old Beatrice Agyapomaa, to dispose of the infant, Anaya Achiaa, under the cover of darkness.
A fourth suspect, Emmanuel Donkor, remains on the run.
The suspects were caught near a refuse dump around 10 pm on April 9, 2026, after a vigilant resident, Akwasi Twezor, noticed their suspicious movements.
When confronted, they claimed the child was already dead and had palace approval for burial. But Twezor’s instincts proved right—the baby was still alive, gasping faintly for breath.
Chief Linguist, Nana Yaw Badu, later confirmed that Frimpong had misled him earlier in the evening, securing permission for burial by falsely declaring the child dead.
The infant was rushed to the Abofrem Clinic, where she is now responding well to treatment. Police described her as “very beautiful.”
Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Evelyn Yitamkey, Commander of DOVVSU in Bibiani, confirmed that the suspects have been provisionally charged.
Frimpong faces attempted murder and conspiracy charges, while Agyapomaa and Appiah are charged with conspiracy and abetment.
They were remanded by the Bibiani Circuit Court, presided over by Judge Frank Asiedu Nimako, to assist investigations.
The docket has been forwarded to the Attorney General’s Department for advice, ASP Yitamkey indicated.
The attempted crime has provoked fury among residents, many suspecting ritual motives aimed at bolstering the pastor’s influence.
Crowds attempted to attack the suspects outside court, but police intervention prevented mob justice.
The Assembly Member for Ahyiresu, Yusuf Suleiman, has assured residents that justice will be pursued swiftly.

The forecourt of the African University of Communications and Business (AUCB) in Accra came alive on Friday with colour, creativity and innovation, as Level 300 students transformed the space into a lively exhibition of ideas.
Under the theme “Building meaningful brands beyond the logo,” the students invited patrons into a world where ordinary products were reimagined through storytelling, design and purpose.
From scented candles to innovative food concepts, each stand told a unique story, one that went beyond aesthetics to capture identity, value and human connection.
For many of the students, the event was more than just an academic exercise; it was a moment to dream out loud.
Guided by their lecturer, Peter Wonders, they explored what it truly means to build a brand in today’s competitive world where trust, consistency and experience matter just as much as logos and slogans.
Chairman of the occasion, Nana Kum Gyata VI, in his remarks said a brand is what people say about you when you are not present.
At the end of the presentations, awards were presented to deserving groups with Vida Nyaneba emerging as the overall best branding student.
