Gold Fields presents medical items to support disaster victims

Gold Fields Ghana Limited has presented assorted medical items valued at about GH¢35,000 to support the June 3 disaster victims undergoing treatment at the National Reconstructive Plastic Surgery and Burns Centre of the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital.

Mr. Alfred Baku, Executive Vice President of Gold Fields’ West Africa Operations presenting the items at the hospital said the items -- part of the company’s social responsibility -- are meant to support the work of medical practitioners toward helping to heal the flood and fire victims.

Wishing the victims a speedy recovery, the medical practitioners said: “They say mining is very difficult but we believe that your work is also equally difficult, and thanks for all the support you are showing the victims”.

Dr. Samuel Asiamah, Medical Director at the Burns Centre, thanked GoldFileds for its support and asked the mining community and general public to show more support toward the health sector.
