Mrs. Sylvia Nutakor, Deputy Director of Nursing Services (DDNS) of the Tema Polyclinic, received the items on behalf of the maternity ward, and expressed her gratitude and appreciation to the club.

She appealed to philanthropists to emulate the good gesture of the club, and donate to hospitals to help reduce maternal and child mortality.
