More people continue to give aid to the Presidential Treatment Programme, with Hatib Janneh, the proprietor of Sea View Hotel, donating a list of valuable items, worth at least D150,250.

The donated items include bags of sugar, cartons of milk, peas, cups and spoons, tooth paste and brushes, kettles and prayer mats.

Dr Tamsir Mbowe, the director general of the Presidential Treatment Programme, took delivery of the donation. He thanked Mr Janneh for the generous gesture, adding that this reinforces the public confidence in and support for the continuity of Dr Yahya Jammeh’s treatment.

Dr Mbowe pointed to the numerous successes registered by the treatment programme, which publicly started in January 2007. According to him, the successes of the various treatments make it an onus for everyone to support the selfless services the president is rendering to humanity, saying that the “lives that are being saved and hopes being restored” could be that of anyone.

Director General Mbowe used the opportunity to thank the president for his personal contribution to the health service delivery system in the country, noting that this has impacted positively on the key health indicators of the country, including life expectancy, maternal health, as well as a significant reduction in the number of admissions.
