UIC Donation

Unique Insurance Company (UIC) has presented 30 benches and a cheque for GH¢2,000 to the Department of Child Health of the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital.
Receiving the cheque, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the hospital, Prof Nii Otu Nartey, expressed his gratitude to the management of the company for showing its concern for child health in the country.
Prof Nartey said the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of the hospital had only 32 incubators for premature babies, adding that in situations where it had more babies than the incubators, the unit was compelled to put three babies into one incubator, a practice which was very unhealthy for the babies.
"In instances when the babies are more than the incubators, then we have to discharge some of them earlier than the stipulated time," he added.
He said the support from the UIC would help purchase more incubators.
Prof Nartey appealed to the management of the UIC for more support in the development of child health and asked other companies and individuals to emulate its example.
The Managing Director of the UIC, Mr Victor Kusi-Yeboah, said the company had made it a responsibility to contribute in its own small way to the development and maintenance of the hospital.
"We have made it a responsibility to help society and Korle-Bu is our target," he said, adding that although the company faced some challenges, it was putting up measures for a micro-insurance policy for the deprived in society.
"We will definitely come again; this is not the end," he promised.
