Speaking at a short ceremony to hand over the facility, the Chief Executive of MDS-Lancet, Dr Paul Sekyere-Nyantakyi, said the facility was provided after doctors of CCTH made an appeal to the company to provide a conducive facility for doctors rest after work schedules.

Professionalism commendable
