The Adenta Mountain View Lions Club on Wednesday, July 1, 2020, donated personal protective equipment (PPEs) and medical supplies to the Frafraha Health Centre. This presentation marks the first phase of the club’s ongoing support of the facility after its members visited health facilities in the Adentan community to ascertain local needs.

The items donated included; Nose masks, examination gloves, examination lamp, surgical gloves, privacy screen, baby lotions, soaps, antibacterial handwash, methylated spirit, sphygmomanometers (blood pressure monitors), infrared thermometers and Veronica buckets.
