Twellium Industrial Company Ltd, the manufacturer of Verna Mineral Water, has donated four incubators and four phototherapy devices to selected health centres in response to a request from the Ghana Medical Association (GMA).
The equipment are to help prevent neonatal deaths.
The benefitting health include Dominase SDA Hospital, Bekwai Municipal Hospital, Effia Nkwanta Regional Hospital, Hohoe District Hospital, Ga West District Hospital, Ewim Polyclinic, Tamale West Hospital, and Sunyani Municipal Hospital.
In addition to donating these costly phototherapy and incubator devices, Twellium also covered the medical bill of Rhoda Akorfa Senyegbe, amounting to the cedi equivalent of $7,000, under its Changing Lives campaign.
Senyegbe was diagnosed with a large left atrial myxoma and was referred to the National Cardiothoracic Centre for surgical removal of the myxoma to manage her symptoms of palpitations and frequent fatigue.
Kendrick Yehowada, Head of Events and Special Projects at Twellium Industries, in an interview with Citi News on Tuesday, emphasised the company’s commitment to making a significant impact on saving lives and the importance of providing such essential equipment to enhance healthcare outcomes for newborns.
“We are thankful for Ghanaians’ support of our brand, Verna Mineral Water. Through our Changing Lives campaign, our goal is to improve the lives of more Ghanaians, especially those with funding challenges.”
Adding that “Twellium Industries remains committed to its partnership with the Ghana Medical Association, and we encourage Ghanaians to continue patronizing our products, knowing that a portion of their purchase supports this vital cause.”
Dr. Andrews Mensah, Chairman of the Greater Accra Division of the Ghana Medical Association, expressed his gratitude and excitement for Verna Water’s support in providing the incubators and phototherapy machines.
He indicated, “The incubators will play a critical role in maintaining the small environment of the desired temperature. Through Verna’s Changing Lives campaign, Verna Water has supported various people to undergo surgeries for various ailments in Ghana.”
“Through our partnership, Verna Water in July 2022 constructed a canteen, a drain, and a fence wall at the Kaneshie Polyclinic as part of its efforts to support healthcare delivery in Ghana, showcasing its commitment to social responsibility.”
