Telecommunications giant MTN Ghana has presented hampers to 30 babies born on Christmas Day at the Efiankwanta Regional Hospital and the Esikado Hospital in the Sekondi Takoradi metropolis.
The gesture forms part of the company’s annual event to welcome newborn babies into the world.
Each baby received a hamper containing diapers, cream, towel, baby powder, soap, and detergents among other items.
Prince Owusu Nyarko, Senior Manager of South West Business District MTN, speaking at the ceremony said welcoming the newborn babies on Christmas Day in all regional capitals had become a tradition for MTN Ghana.
He added that the gesture is something that the company does every year to show appreciation to the community, especially with the significance that the 25th of December holds for many to show the love and joy of the season.
Michael Danso the Administrator of the Efiankwanta Regional Hospital expressed his profound gratitude to MTN Ghana for the gesture.
He, however, expressed the hope that MTN would spread the initiative to cover more mothers to look more into maternal health issues and support the hospital with modern delivery beds.
Nana Kobina Nketsia IV the Omanhen of Essikado who joined MTN in presenting the hampers said visiting the mothers and the babies renews the faith in the mother of God for Christians.
He credited MTN for presenting the hampers to the mothers after the difficulty of childbirth that they go through.
Nana prayed that the company would make a profit so they could expand the initiative.
