Lordina Foundation donates to Princess Marie Louise Hospital • The Princess Marie Louise Childrens Hospital in Accra has received an ambulance from the Lordina Foundation to facilitate the process of conveying critically ill children from the hospital for emergency medical attention at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital. • The ambulance costing $50,000 was donated in response to a request made to the First Lady, Mrs. Lordina Mahama, by the Chairman of the Board of the Childrens Hospital, Father Andrew Campbell, during a Christmas party at the hospital in December, 2013. • Following the breakdown of the only ambulance belonging to the hospital a year ago, the hospital was forced to pick children in critical conditions in a pick-up vehicle or in taxis to the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital under very trying circumstances. • Because the pick-up vehicle and the taxis did not have sirens, other motorists did not make way for them despite the tooting of horns, which delayed the transportation of patients. • The hospital transfers three emergency cases, on the average, to the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital in a week. • The presentation of the ambulance was their contribution to promoting enhanced healthcare to children. • She thanked partners of the foundation across the country, especially Prime Metro Properties Limited, which supported the acquisition of the ambulance.
