It is nothing new for private businesses to renovate hospital wards,
fund scholarships, sponsor hajj and even pay for grand gala nights for
the selected few. While many of these may be out of desire to be good
corporate citizens, the government cannot allow businesses to feel
pressured into believing that its all part of doing business in the Gambia.

*The renovation of Wards 6 and 7 (male surgical wards) at the Royal
Victoria Teaching Hospital (RVTH) by Global Properties was yesterday
celebrated at a ceremony held at the Royal Victoria Teaching Hospital
(RVTH) premises in Banjul.*
The project illustrates the real estate company’s intention to
contribute to the development of the health sector in The Gambia. The
refurbishment work - which took twelve months to complete - provides
more facilities to the said wards such as air conditioners and sanitary
facilities for both patients and staff.
Speaking at the inauguration ceremony, Baboucarr Ngum, the public
relations officer, RVTH, who spoke on behalf of the hospital management
board, said Global Properties has taken a laudable step forward. He
called on other companies and NGOs to emulate the laudable initiative.
For his part, Malick Mboob, head of Media Relations of Global
Properties, disclosed that as a small but growing company, they have a
responsibility towards the community and the country as a whole.
"Global Properties is the leader in the real estate business in The
Gambia, a position we earned based on quality service delivery,
professionalism and trustworthiness," he said.
"I believe with the continued support of our customers and a favourable
business environment, Global Properties will be in a position to fund
the construction of more wards for RVTH in a few years time," he
said.Modou Jallow, departmental matron, delivered the vote of thanks.
