The gesture was particularly timely, as it addressed some of the immediate needs of mothers who had just delivered and were preparing to care for their babies.
The donation was warmly received by hospital authorities and beneficiaries. Speaking on behalf of the hospital management, staff, and the mothers, the Deputy Chief Nursing Officer of Cape Coast Teaching Hospital, Madam Veronica Koomson, expressed heartfelt appreciation to MTN Ghana for its continued support.
She highlighted the challenges faced by many expectant mothers who arrive at the hospital without basic delivery and postnatal items.

According to her, it is not uncommon for women to report to the maternity ward with little or no preparation due to financial difficulties.
“On behalf of the hospital management, the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Unit, and the beneficiary mothers, I say a very big thank you to MTN Ghana,” Madam Koomson said.

“On occasions like this, MTN always comes to support us with what the babies need. Indeed, most pregnant women come to the delivery ward with nothing, not even baby diapers, and nurses sometimes have to contribute money to help needy mothers.”
She noted that the baby hampers would go a long way in easing the burden on the new mothers, especially those from underprivileged backgrounds.

Presenting the items on behalf of MTN Ghana, Madam Regina Arkaifie, the company’s Human Resources representative for the Western and Central Regions, explained that the gesture was inspired by the Christmas story of the birth of Jesus Christ.
