She mentioned that the Association members, with support from GRIDCo's Management, Staff, GRIDLASS Executive, were able to raise funds to procure the items. Madam Amadu indicated that 'the initiative did not only exemplify GRIDLASS's commitment to GRIDCo's core value of 'CARE' but also underscores their dedication to professionalism and societal well-being.' Dr. Kwesi Djesi, the Clinical Coordinator of the Novati Catholic Hospital received the items and exp ressed heartfelt gratitude on behalf of the entire hospital staff. 'We're very grateful for the donation we had from GRIDLASS. This showed that they've been thinking about the welfare of the people. The flood situations really had negative impacts on the facility and these items we received today would also help us to continue our work,' he explained. Dr. Djesi shared poignant accounts of the facility's struggles in the aftermath of the floods, revealing that the hospital would have generated a little over GHC 1.3 million revenue in two months if the floods had not ravaged the facility.
