The GRNMA, in partnership with Mellinium Promise Alliance, an NGO, donated assorted items of PPEs, to the Management of Ridge Hospital in Accra yesterday ( 12th Nov. 2020) as part of the activities marking the Association's 4th Dr. Docia Kisseih's Memorial lectures, which was held yesterday, 11th Nov., 2020 in Accra.
The items included, in units, 2,730 face shields, 4,800 KN95s and 1200 Surgical masks. Others were 6000 examination gloves, 40 overalls and 5 goggles.
The GRNMA PRO, Mr Joseph Krampah and his Assistant, Mr Philimon Gyapong, on behalf of the President of the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association, Mrs. Perpetual Ofori Ampofo, donated the the items. Mr. Krampah informed the Management present that, the items were donated by the Mellinium Promise Alliance to the Association as part of their measures to reach out to 1million health staff with PPEs as their contribution in the fight against the COVID 19 and to protect health personnel in their efforts to contain the Coronavirus. The GRNMA PRO took the opportunity to educate and update both new and old nurses and midwives (members of the GRNMA) on the quest of the new NEC leadership to change the face of the Association. He therefore asked the members to rally behind the GRNMA to work harder to enhance the welfare of nurses and midwives. He informed the members present that, though leadership could not get all our requests fulfilled by the employer during the COS negotiations, those that we got should be regarded as starters which could be built on in future. The remaining ones would still be visited as time goes on.
Receiving the items on behalf of Management of the Ridge Hospital, the Nurse Manager, was thankful to the leadership of the GRNMA, especially to Mad. Perpetual Ofori-Ampofo, for considering the staff of the facility by providing them with such wonderful equipments. She said they would put them to proper use and asked for more should the Association gets any consignments again.
