He said the company’s support was initially to the College of Health Sciences of the University of Ghana as a way of sustaining local post-graduate medical training.
He said due to the commitment of the company to developing the human resource base of the country, the support was extended to the School of Medical Sciences of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology and Students Financial Aid Office of the University of Ghana.
Mr Agbenyega said in response to the appeals from the various institutions for help to equip various departments of the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, the company decided to extend its assistance to the Department of Child Health and Urology Unit of the hospital.
