We scouted for a community within the environment we operate, to provide health support within Ahafo and with the help of Newmont community development department; Gyedu Health Centre was the minor community in dire need of the medical supplies”.

She continued, “Upon reaching out to them, they provided a list of medical items, critical to them that will support in effective health care delivery in the area and CONSHIP is happy to have made their dream come true”.

Mr. Owusu Ababio, a representative of Newmont Gold Ghana Limited, believed the donation is aligned with the company’s value and CSR.

“This will support the treatment and management of various medical conditions and enable the facility to deliver top-notch healthcare services”
