The Al – Hafiz organisation for Humanitarian Service – Ghana, a charitable institution, on Thursday handed over a furnished Child Welfare Clinic (CWC) to the Ghana Health Service (GHS), at Ntotroso in the AhafoRegion.
It has a weighing room, an office, over a 100 capacity waiting hall, counseling porch and a spacious car packing area for workers and visitors of the clinic.
Mr Hussein Aremeyaw, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Al – Hafiz organisation for Humanitarian Service – Ghana, said it pleased God when individual or group of persons willingly donated something precious to the society.
The CEO said the gesture was in memory of his late son, Mr Hafiz Hussein Aremeyaw, a level 100 student of the University of Ghana, who was stabbed to death on September 25 last year at Ntotroso.
Mr Aremeyaw indicated that his organisation provided quality health care to the vulnerable, financial support for brilliant but needy students, promotion of Quran and Islamic education and building of mosques for rural communities among others.
“It is the vision of the charitable organisation to become a recognised institution in the Ahafo Region and beyond through dedicated service, compassion and love for humanity, ” the CEO added.
