Presenting the items to the hospital, the founder and Operations Coordinator of the Richmond Foundation, John K. Kingsford who also happens to be a native of the district said the donation was the third of its kind. “I was motivated to make this donation because I lost my niece in this hospital who was in labour. She died with the baby because of lack of essential equipments in the hospital”, he noted.

He mentioned that, the Richmond Foundation which aims at assisting, caring and supporting needy children intends to establish children’s hospital in the district to augment the existing ones.
