National Lottery Authority (NLA) has extended its corporate social responsibility initiative to the health sector by donating GH¢15,000 to three patients of the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital Dialysis Unit.
The three beneficiaries, Joseph Taylor, Emmanuel Dagbui and Theresa Mbanle by this donation would be able to undergo haemodialysis and also receive other medications required for them.
Lt Col Yaw Dzotefe-Mensah, General Manager Security and Special Projects of NLA, presenting the cheque to the hospital said, “There is no secret that provision of adequate healthcare to the general public is one of the major areas of concern to governments.”
However, he said government was constrained by resources and finance from providing the healthcare system that is envisaged.
“It is for this reason that National Lottery Authority is actively engaged in supporting the government by providing various forms of assistance to the Ministry of Health as part of our corporate social responsibility agenda,” he said.
Lt Col Dzotefe-Mensah also wished the beneficiaries of the medical sponsorship package well and prayed that the Almighty God, working through the doctors, will give them relief from their ailments.
Mustapha Salifu, Head of Public Relations Unit of Korle- Bu Teaching Hospital, on behalf of the beneficiaries expressed their gratitude to the NLA for their support to Korle-Bu Hospital over the years.
He said the major challenge facing the patients of the unit was to get resources for haemodialysis and purchase of medication, thus, such a donation would help assist greatly in the delivery of healthcare to the patients.
