GRAND BAHAMA, BAHAMAS — Scotiabank Bahamas Limited presented a cheque of $30,000 to Grand Bahama Health Services’ Executive Management Committee during a presentation event on Friday, February 19, 2021.
On presenting the cheque to Grand Bahama Health Services Administrator Sharon Williams, Scotiabank Bahamas Limited Managing Director Roger Archer said in recognition of the Rand Memorial Hospital’s ongoing efforts to provide healthcare to its patients, particularly after the passage of Hurricane Dorian and more recently the worldwide coronavirus pandemic, Scotiabank wanted to support the readiness of the hospital to serve the community.
Upon accepting the donation on behalf of the Ministry of Health, Public Hospitals Authority and Grand Bahamas Health Services, Williams expressed gratitude for the generous donation and stated that the equipment being purchased will improve the institution’s capacity to provide essential healthcare for the children.
She said “much progress is being made in the restoration of our facility by our government’s commitment to partnership with organizations such as yours who have determined the importance of rebuilding healthcare facilities on Grand Bahama and committed resources to assist”.
The funds will facilitate procurement of one ventilator, one pediatric monitor and two pediatric wheelchairs for the Lula Knowles Pediatrics Ward.
