As Ghana joins the rest of the world to mark World Malaria Day, Tobinco Pharmaceuticals Limited has donated medicines worth GHS 200,000 to the University of Ghana Medical Centre (UGMC) to support the fight against malaria.
The donation forms part of the company’s corporate social responsibility aimed at improving healthcare delivery.
Malaria remains a major public health challenge in Ghana, particularly among children under five. The disease continues to claim lives, especially in rural and low-income communities where poor sanitation and low use of insecticide-treated nets persist.
To support ongoing efforts to reduce malaria cases, Tobinco Pharmaceuticals Limited, led by its Chairman, Elder Dr Samuel Nana Amo Tobbin, presented assorted medicines to UGMC as part of activities marking this year’s World Malaria Day.
The items included antimalarial drugs such as Lufart and Entramol, as well as blood tonics and other essential medicines to aid in the treatment of patients.
Speaking during the presentation, the Managing Director of TPL Omega, Dr. Christopher Mensah, said the donation was to support the hospital in delivering quality care to malaria patients.
The Director of Pharmacy at UGMC, Josephine Mensah, expressed gratitude to the company on behalf of the hospital’s management and urged the public to adopt preventive measures against malaria.
Tobinco Pharmaceuticals Limited reiterated its commitment to supporting healthcare across the country to improve well-being and enhance productivity.
