The Susanna Wesley Mission Auxiliary of the Mount Sinai Society Methodist Church at New Dawhenya in Tema partnered with Jay Foundation to donate maternity items and cash to the Tema General Hospital.
The donation which took place last week was dubbed “SUWMA Tabitha Project 4”, was on the theme “Love your neighbour as yourself” a biblical verse extracted from Galatians 5:14 and Mark 12:31.
The items including bed sheets, cot sheets, baby dresses, food stuff for lactating mothers, cosmetics for babies among others were meant for patients at the antenatal care (ANC) and Neonatal Care Intensive Units (NICU).
Exhibiting the love of God through the theme of the donation, the group made payments of hospital bills for women at the ANC ward and at the NICU unable to meet their hospital financial obligations, to be discharged.
As part of the donation, the group and Jay Foundation provided counselling to patients at the obstetrics and Gynaecology wards at the hospital.
Founder of Jay Foundation, Madam Naa Kuorkor Mayne-Eghan told The Spectator that it was important to care about premature babies since they were vulnerable and easily susceptible to unfavourable conditions.
According to her, it was very crucial for Ghana to put adequate measures in place to enhance the survival of premature babies and their mothers and called on others to donate to maternity wards as a means of demonstrating God’s love.
Mrs. Patience Hayford, President of Susanna Wesley Mission Auxiliary of the Mount Sinai Society, Methodist Church, at New Dawhenya said the donation to mothers and babies at the Tema General Hospital was a means of evangelising God’s word of love to human.
