Dr. Omar Jagne, Chief Executive Officer of Africmed International Hospital, on Monday donated more than 150 bags of 25kg rice to hospital staff as part of the institution’s annual Ramadan support programme.
The distribution, held at the hospital premises in Brusubi, included staff from all departments, including senior management, nurses, cleaners, drivers, and other support personnel. The initiative aims to ease household burdens during the holy month of Ramadan.
The donation forms part of Africmed’s Corporate Social Responsibility efforts, highlighting the institution’s commitment to staff welfare during the period of sharing and compassion.
Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Alhagie Suwaneh, Executive Nursing Officer and Head of the Nursing Department, commended Dr. Jagne for his consistent support. “This is not the first time Dr. Jagne has supported us in this way. His concern for staff welfare is evident, and this gesture will help our families during this important period,” he said, describing the CEO as a mentor and goodwill ambassador whose leadership inspires staff.
Mr. Samba Bah, Assistant Administrator, said the donation comes at a time when many families face increased financial pressures. “On behalf of the staff, we sincerely thank Dr. Jagne for this benevolent gesture. It will significantly ease some of the challenges we face during Ramadan,” he said, adding that the support will enable staff to extend charity to the less privileged through zakat.
Mr. Kemo Sarr, Head of Laboratory Services, described the initiative as commendable, noting that it ensures every staff member benefits.
In his remarks, Dr. Jagne reaffirmed his commitment to supporting staff, saying motivated and supported employees are essential for delivering quality healthcare services. “Ramadan is a month of sharing and caring, and it is always my desire to put smiles on the faces of my staff,” he said.
Dr. Jagne also commended the government, led by President Adama Barrow, for creating an enabling environment for private sector growth, and extended best wishes for a blessed Koriteh to the President and the nation.
The annual initiative continues to strengthen staff morale at Africmed, reinforcing a culture of care, unity, and institutional support.
