Cirrus Oil Service Limited has presented US$20,000 towards the refurbishment of the Children’s Cancer daycare unit at Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, Accra.
Ivy Apea Owusu, Chief Executive Officer, Cirrus Oil Service Limited, at a ceremony to present the cheque said: “As part of its corporate social responsibility, the company has decided to partner with Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital and donate funds toward the development of the Children’s ward aimed at providing quality health care delivery to the country’s children.”
She revealed that issues of health care and child growth are in the master-plan of the company, and that such projects will be an annual event to ensure that the underprivileged in society derive maximum benefit from the company’s operations.
“Cirrus Oil Services as part of its corporate programme in Takoradi-Western Region embarked on a public campaign for a healthy lifestyle.
“The company also collaborated with the Ghana National Fire Service to deepen the public’s awareness on the dangers of fire in homes,” Owusu said.
Dr. Lorna Awo Renner, Consultant Pediatrician, Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, receiving the cheque acknowledged the management of Cirrus Oil for their kind gesture, adding that the monies will go a long way in supporting the renovation of a day care unit for children with cancer.
The ward, which admits patients from across the country, needs massive infrastructural development to ensure total health care delivery for the children.
She called on other corporate bodies to emulate Cirrus Oil and come to their aid and help in the renovation project of the children’s hospital.
