										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Humanity First, a Non-Governmental Organization, in collaboration with the Ghana Association of Bankers (GAB), have donated 500 family food packs, valued at GH¢7,050.00 to some needy people in society to enable them to support themselves in this period of the COVID-19 crisis.</p>
<p>The food packs were distributed in Kotobabi, parts of New Town, and the Ghana Society for the Socially Disadvantaged Home at Kaneshie.</p>
<p>Each pack contained gari, beans, salt, sugar, one litre of oil, five kilos of rice, six canned fish and five sachets of tomato paste, and would serve a household of four.</p>
<p>Dr Kamal-Deen Ali, the Director, Disaster Relief Humanity First, who made the presentation, said they found it very important to assist these vulnerable in society to make living a little easy for them.</p>
<p>He said the COVID-19 pandemic had affected the lives of many locally and internationally, adding that, supporting these people would go a long way to put smiles on their faces.</p>
<p>Mr John Awuah, the Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Ghana Association of Bankers, speaking at the event said the gesture formed part of the Association&#8217;s social intervention programmes.</p>
<p>He said GAB had since the COVID-19 outbreak, mobilised GHC10 million to assist frontline institutions to complement the Government’s efforts to win the fight against the pandemic.</p>
<p>Beneficiaries so far included: the Ministry of Health, the Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research, the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital and Doctors in Residence.</p>
<p>Some pharmaceutical companies and some other bodies have also been assisted, he added.</p>
<p>In addition to contributing to the GH¢10 million fund, Mr Awuah said, each bank had gone directly into various communities to provide support.</p>
<p>“So, in total, our banks have done additional GH¢9.5 million direct contributions to the 10 million fund.</p>
<p>“But we also deal in social intervention activities, such as supporting faith-based organizations hence the collaboration with Humanity first,” he said.</p>
<p>He said GAB felt the need to support families due to the feedback they got when they assisted government to feed over 5,000 people on the streets during the lockdown.</p>
<p>&#8220;We realized that aside feeding poor people on streets there were some people in homes who needed this kind of support but were not getting thus the need to assist households also,&#8221; he added.</p>
<p>Mr Awuah expressed the hope that the items would provide some level of relief to the needy families who had been affected in many ways by the COVID-19 crisis.</p>
<p>The beneficiaries of the food packs expressed gratitude to Humanity First and GAB for the kind gesture.</p>
<p>Humanity First is a charitable trust established (under the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community) to promote and safeguard human life and dignity.</p>
<p>It is a non-political, non-religious, non-sectarian international relief and development agency that works with the world’s poorest and most vulnerable people.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>The Ghana Association of Bankers (GAB) has donated GH¢2.5 million to four institutions in support of the fight against the coronavirus disease (COVID-19).</h2>
<p>The institutions are the Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research (NMIMR), Community Water and Sanitation Agency (CWSA), Ghana Association of Doctors in Residency and the Ministry of Health (MoH).</p>
<p>The NMIMR received $325,000 (GH¢1.85 million) to boost its capacity to do more testing for COVID-19, while the CWSA and GADOR were given GH¢200,000 each to help them play their part in tackling the pandemic.</p>
<p>The MoH also received 200 improved handwashing equipment valued at GH¢200,000 to be distributed to the district hospitals to promote handwashing.</p>
<p><strong>Presentation</strong></p>
<p>The President of the association and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Stanbic Bank, Mr Alhassan Andani, presented the cheques to the beneficiaries in Accra last Tuesday.</p>
<p>The Director of the NMIMR, Professor Abraham Kwabena Annan, received the cheque for the NMIMR, while the Chairman of the CWSA, Paa Kwesi Yankey, and the General Secretary of Doctors in Residency, Dr Florence Akumiah, stood in for their institutions.</p>
<p>The Director of Technical Coordination at the MoH, Dr Martha Gyansa-Lutterodt, received the document covering the items donated to the MoH.</p>
<p><strong>Collaboration is key</strong></p>
<p>Mr Andani said the decision to donate to the four entities was in view of the critical role they played in curbing the spread of COVID-19 and the need to support them with the needed resources.</p>
<p>“We all know that NMIMR is at the forefront of doing the testing so we thought we should be able to come to their aid to help them get more testing kits to perform this critical function.</p>
<p>“We also have our in-house doctors who get in touch with us each time we are rushed to the hospital. They play a key role in this COVID-19 fight and, therefore, we decided to donate towards acquiring personal protective equipment (PPE) and other stuff,” he said.</p>
<p>For the CWSA, Mr Andani said the donation was made to support the association’s collaboration with the agency to ensure that water was made available to rural communities.</p>
<p>The representatives of the four institutions thanked the association for the kind gesture and gave assurances that the money would be put to good use in the interest of the public.</p>
<p>Prof. Annan said the donation had come at the right time because it was going to boost the capacity of NMIMR to do more testing for the disease.</p>
<p><strong>Hasman donation</strong></p>
<p>In another development, a Ghanaian oil and gas service provider, Hasman Technical Services Limited (HTSL), has presented a cheque for GH¢100,000 to&nbsp; the NMIMR to support the institute’s testing activities in the fight against the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), reports Juliet Akyaa Safo.</p>
<p>The Managing Director of the company, Mr William Andoh Wood, presented a dummy cheque for the amount to the Director of the Institute, Professor Abraham Kwabena Annan, in Accra last Tuesday.</p>
<p><strong>Presentation</strong></p>
<p>Mr Wood acknowledged the critical role the institute played in providing specialised diagnosis not only for COVID-19 but other infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS, H1NI, Influenza, Ebola virus disease, among others.</p>
<p>“Your team at the institute put your lives at risk, considering the highly contagious nature of the COVID-19 to support the country to manage this disease and we commend your effort,” he said.</p>
<p><strong>Appreciation</strong></p>
<p>The Director of the institute, Professor Annan, thanked the team for the donation, stating that it had come in handy to help them acquire essential equipment such as personal protective equipment&nbsp; and reagents, and to build the capacities of its staff in the fight against the coronavirus.</p>
<p>He said the institute had already built the capacities of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, the National Public Health and Reference Laboratory, Ghana and the West African Centre for Cell Biology of Infectious Pathogens to take part in the testing.</p>
