The women’s council of the Apostles Revelation Society (ARS) has presented items worth GH¢4,500 to the Accra Psychiatric Hospital in support of the daily operations of the health facility.
The items presented include gallons of detergents, cooking oil, bags of rice, maize, beans gari, clothing, fruits, diapers and tissue papers.
The coordinator of the group and assembly woman for Kutunse Electoral Area in the Ga West Municipal Assembly, Selina Avevor, said the group decided to help the activities of the hospital as a demonstration of their teachings.
“The facility was in the news last year for lack of supplies, so even though the issue had died out we want to support to bring some happiness on the faces of the inmates,” she said.
Madam Avevor said the group celebrated its women’s anniversary last year July, where they planned on donating to the hospital.
She called on other organisations to support the health facility to enable it to operate to its full capacity.
Madam Beatrice Nyarko, Deputy Director of Nursing Services at the Accra Psychiatric Hospital, who received the items on behalf of the hospital’s management and patients, expressed her heartfelt gratitude to the ARS women’s council for their donation.
She said the donation was very significant because “if you heard about us last year, we almost went home because of things like this so we are very grateful and we pray that God will repay you bountifully.”
