Also in attendance was the Chief Medical Director of Ridge hospital Dr Sefenyo and the Head of Neo-Natal Korle Bu, Prof. Christabel Enweronu-Laryea.

The donation consists of 131 Fetal monitors, 51 Patient monitors and 20 Pulse Oximeter to be shared amongst Korle Bu, Ridge Teaching hospital, Ho Hospital, National Cathedral Hospital and a few more public hospitals to further assist with the monitoring and aiding safe delivery of babies and also reduce birth mortality.
