It was in response to calls for interventions when the pandemic was at its worst this year and vital supplies and equipment were running low in the hospital.
A release from the company said, “TechnipFMC is committed to making a positive impact in the places where it operates, thus, the company stepped in to help shore up needed supplies.”
Handing over the items, the Business Development Manager of the company, Dr Joseph Dankwah, said: “While front-line workers are doing their jobs, they are risking their lives and those of their families.
“Providing the hospital with PPE is TechnipFMC’s contribution to ensure that doctors and nurses work in a safer environment to provide quality health care and save lives.”
The Head of administration at the hospital, Rev. Samuel Obeng-Mensah, who received the PPE, thanked the company for the donation, saying it came at a time of need.
Other officials of the company present at the presentation were the Country Manager, Mr Shaun Watson; the Communication and Sustainability Manager; Mrs Abigail Aba Krah Mensah and the Managing Director, Mr Michael Kuma.
