She stated the move forms part of the company’s CRS to extend a helping hand as giving of gifts of hope to the ailing children was not out of place.
According to her, “Our aim is to put smiles on the faces of these kids , some of whom have had a very rough time in the year 2021”.

On his part, Dr Winfred Baah, Consultant Physician at Korle Bu, who was also dressed up as Santa Claus during the kind gesture, expressed his gratitude to eTranzact and its management for thinking about the children during the Christmas season:
“When eTranzact management contacted me and said that they wanted to donate gifts anonymously, I was very glad and said I will definitely facilitate the visit and help out”.
He further added: “I pray that more companies will follow this lead, and think of others and help others when they can”
Dr. Baah thanked the company for coming to spend the festive season with the patients.
