THE Victory Bible Church International (VBCI) on Saturday presented assorted items and an amount of GH¢14,000 to in-patients of the Achimota Hospital to support their daily needs.
The items included sanitary pads, washing powder, diapers (pampers), liquid soap and bar soap.
Making the presentation, the Provincial Superintendent of the Achimota Province of the church, Bishop Seth Aryitey, said the gesture formed part of the church’s social responsibility to show love and care for people in society, particularly the sick.
“As you know, Jesus Christ laid down his life for humanity and as followers of Jesus Christ, we are also following in his footsteps by giving and showing love and care to the people at the hospital,” he added.
“For example, Jesus Christ mentioned in Matthew 25:36 that when I was naked, you clothed me; when I was hospitalised, you came to support me; when I was hungry, you fed me,” he said.
He said the donation was to support patients across various wards, expressing hope that it would make an impact on their wellbeing.
Receiving the items, the Senior Health Service Administrator of the Achimota Hospital, Mrs Sumaya Rashid, expressed gratitude to the church for the gesture.
Mrs Rashid noted that the hospital does not often receive such support, adding that the donated items would go a long way in helping to care for the patients.
She also expressed hope that the church would continue to strengthen its collaboration with the hospital to improve healthcare delivery in Achimota and the wider municipality.

Veteran Nigerian actor and African screen legend, Pete Edochie, has paid a courtesy call on the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), Sammy Gyamfi, during his visit to Ghana.
Edochie is in Ghana to launch the African Legacy Project, which includes a book, documentary film and an African Youth Mentorship Initiative targeting about 500,000 young people across the continent.
Mr. Gyamfi welcomed the opportunity for GoldBod to support the mentorship initiative, noting that it aligns with the Board’s Special Intervention Programme and its focus on social impact and economic empowerment.
GoldBod’s work is also referenced in Pete Edochie’s new book, which highlights Ghana’s efforts to ensure its gold resources contribute to national development.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has warned Ghanaians seeking employment in Zambia to be cautious of fraudulent job offers that could expose them to human trafficking and forced involvement in cybercrime.
The warning follows the arrest of six Ghanaians in Lusaka, Zambia, during a joint operation by the Zambia Police Service, the Drug Enforcement Commission and the Department of Immigration on August 23, 2026.
According to the Ministry, the operation targeted a facility suspected of being involved in organised cybercrime activities and led to the arrest of 79 people, including 10 Zambians and 69 foreign nationals.
The Ministry said six of the foreign nationals arrested were Ghanaians.
It explained that reports received by the Ghana High Commission in Lusaka indicated that some of those arrested had been recruited through what appeared to be legitimate employment opportunities, including online data entry jobs.
However, the Ministry said some were allegedly forced into online scam activities after their passports were confiscated by their employers.
It warned that the situation highlights how human trafficking groups are using fake employment opportunities to lure unsuspecting job seekers into illegal activities.
The Ministry has therefore advised Ghanaians travelling to Zambia or seeking employment there to thoroughly verify job offers, recruitment agencies and prospective employers before travelling.
Ghanaians living in Zambia have also been urged to remain vigilant when responding to online job opportunities and maintain regular contact with the Ghana High Commission in Lusaka for consular assistance when necessary.
The Ministry said the government remains committed to protecting the welfare and interests of Ghanaians travelling to or living outside the country.
