The Kwaebibirim municipal health director has appealed to the Government to upgrade the Asuom health centre into a Hospital, with mortuary services.

He thanked the management of the bank for the gesture.

The Managing Director of the Kwaebibirem Rurual bank, Micheal Agyeibi Agyekum said the gesture forms part of the bank's cooperate social responsibility.

He stated that besides the donation of the vehicle, the bank has been supplying 10 gallons of fuel each month to the Kwaebibirem Municipal Police Command to help fight crime in the Municipality.

Mr. Agyekum assured all customers of the bank that the management of the bank is in competent hands and will not fall prey to the current banking crisis.
