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.
