Commemoration of International Women’s Day: Comfee Ghana donates air conditioners to 37 Military Hospital

Manufacturers and suppliers of inverter air conditioners, COMFEE Ghana, has donated over GH¢70,000 worth of air conditioners to the 37 Military Hospital in Accra.

The equipment, which consist of 10 units of Comfee's high-quality air conditioners — 1.5 to 2.5 horsepower, is aimed at improving the comfort and well-being of patients and staff at the female wards of the hospital.

The donation, which took place at the hospital last Friday, formed part of the company’s corporate social responsibility to commemorate International Women’s Day, which is observed on March 8, across the world, every year. 

Rationale

The Executive Director of the company, Pearl Gborglah, told the Daily Graphic, that the donation was part of the company's efforts to give back to the community and also support institutions that provided vital services to the nation.

"We are proud to support the 37 Military Hospital which has been providing excellent medical care to our military personnel and the general public.

"We believe that our air conditioners will help create a more comfortable and conducive environment for patients, especially our mothers in the maternity wards and females who have delivered and are recuperating after delivery," she said.

Ms Gborglah further said that it also affirmed the commitment of the company, which had been operating for the past three years, to make a positive impact in the lives of customers, adding that they intended to continue with such support by partnering institutions to make a real difference in society.

She said the company recognised that comfort played a crucial role in the healing process; hence “our commitment to ensure that every patient, especially those receiving care in hospitals, has access to the best possible environment to aid their recovery”.

Appreciation

The Chief Nursing Officer of the hospital, Colonel Patience Owusu-Aidoo, who received the equipment on behalf of the hospital, expressed gratitude to the company for their generous donation, saying that it would help improve the comfort and well-being of patients and staff.

"We are very grateful to Comfee Ghana for this kind gesture. The air conditioners will be installed in our female wards where they will provide much-needed comfort to our patients and staff.

“We appreciate your commitment to give back to the community, and we look forward to continuing to work together to improve health outcomes in the country," she added.
