Eric Addai Boateng, Sustainability Officer for BAWA ROCK Limited, represented the company’s CEO, Alhaji Rasheed BAWA Namoro, during the handover of the funds.

In response, the CEO of KATH, Dr. Med. Paa Kwesi Baidoo, expressed gratitude to the Mayor and the BAWA group for the support. 

He pleaded the donation to become a regular initiative and appealed to the mayor to use his tenure in office to continue seeking assistance for the hospital, stressing the positive impact such contributions have on patients care.
