importance of maintaining a clean environment through frequent clean up
exercises.

bank also donated an amount of GH¢5,000, food stuff, toiletries and
other items to support the hospital upcoming Christmas party.
Head
of Strategic Planning, Research and Corporate Affairs, Dr. Kwame
Baah-Nuako said the decision to clean up is to support government
campaign on sanitation.

noted that the choice of the Children's Hospital for the exercise is to
ensure children who are more susceptible to communicable diseases
remain in good health to enjoy Christmas.
Dr.
Baah-Nuako said as a people centered bank, they always seek to champion
social activities to improve the lives of the unprivileged in society.
“The
focus area for the Royal Bank foundation is health and sanitation so
when we decided to celebrate our second anniversary, it came naturally
to the bank to do things that support what the foundation is doing” he
added.
Dr. Baah-Nuako promised their continuous support for the Princess Marie-Louise Children's Hospital.
Receiving
the items and cash donation on behalf of the hospital, the Medical
