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.
