Matilda Hammond handing over the items to the management of the GIMPA Clinic
A student of the Ghana Institute of Management & Public Administration (GIMPA), Matilda Hammond, has donated assorted drugs and other items to the GIMPA Clinic.
She also gave a water dispenser, Sony DVD player and three dustbins.
Ms. Hammond, who is in her second year, said she was motivated to make the donation as her contribution to the clinic’s effective delivery of health and sanitation services to students and other members of the school community.
“Health is wealth. And as the ancient Roman expression has it, ‘a healthy mind resides in a healthy body.’ So, as members of an intellectual community, the health of our minds, that is, our academic performance, is enhanced if the health of our bodies is in good hands. Hence, the decision to make this donation to the GIMPA Clinic,” she stated.
Ms. Hammond hoped her act would serve as an example to other students to make a difference in the school community and Ghana as a whole.
“GIMPA is a leading provider of quality human resources for Ghana, Africa and the world at large. I, therefore, take this opportunity to call on other public-spirited individuals and corporate organisations who continue to benefit from GIMPA’s expertise to support the GIMPA Clinic and take up other projects on campus,” she added.
The items were received on behalf of the GIMPA Clinic by Dr. Daniel Nortey, the medical director of the clinic, who thanked Ms. Hammond and expressed the hope that other students would take a cue from her selfless gesture and support.
