Chief of Srogboe Togbi Kpatamia IV, and the country representative of the union who presented the items said they were motivated by the desire to contribute to the fight against the coronavirus that took the world by storm.

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Hospital, Dr John Tampuri who received the items expressed his gratitude to the union.
