Mark Fiattor, Health Service Administrator of the Trauma and Orthopedics Department, opened the event with heartfelt gratitude, underscoring the immense importance of this contribution.

This act of generosity is deeply appreciated, and it will undoubtedly have a profound impact on our ability to provide critical care,” he expressed warmly.
Puneet Gidwani, Representative of the Group and Director of DPS Pipes spoke about the heartfelt motivation behind the group’s generous donation.
He shared that a personal experience with the hospital’s exceptional care inspired them to give back.
"After witnessing the outstanding dedication and skill of the medical team, we felt duty-bound to contribute in a meaningful way," said Mr Gidwani.
"Understanding the critical need for advanced medical equipment, we are honoured to provide these medical-grade power drills and saws to support the department's vital work.
"This donation reinforces our deep appreciation for the hospital and our commitment to contributing to enhancing the lives of the people in the communities we operate.”
Dr. Frederick Kwarteng, Head of the Trauma and Orthopedic Department at Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, expressed profound gratitude for the donation, emphasizing its critical impact.
He explained that these essential tools are the backbone of the orthopaedic department, enabling them to perform life-saving procedures.
"Without this equipment, many cases would need to be referred to other hospitals, putting countless lives at risk," he said.

Dr. Kwarteng noted that the addition of these medical-grade power drills will significantly enhance their capacity to treat more patients each day, easing their workload and improving efficiency.
He highlighted the urgency of the donation, mentioning that just last week, they had to limit the number of surgeries due to a lack of equipment.
"This timely contribution will allow the department to serve the community more effectively and save thousands of lives," he stated.
This donation aligns with DPS Group’s Corporate Social Responsibility philosophy, showcasing the company's dedication to supporting community well-being and societal improvement.
Through such contributions, DPS Group continues to extend lifelines to the community and upholds its commitment to being a responsible corporate citizen.
