The initiative brought joy to young patients and their families, with Vivo Energy Ghana employees visiting the children’s ward to offer roses and chocolates. The ward was filled with smiles and laughter as the children welcomed the surprise gifts, while parents and guardians expressed appreciation for the thoughtful gesture.
Paediatric Oncologist, Dr. Ernestina Schandorf, expressed gratitude for the timely donation, noting it will significantly strengthen the department’s capacity to deliver quality healthcare. “The syringe and infusion pumps will enable us to treat young patients more effectively, ultimately improving the quality of healthcare delivery for children receiving treatment,” she said.
The Energising Hope initiative reflects Vivo Energy Ghana’s vision to be Africa’s leading and most respected energy business, combining operational excellence with purposeful community engagement.
