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.
