Tobinco Pharmaceuticals Limited has donated waiting chairs to the University Health Services to improve patient comfort and support the delivery of quality healthcare. The donation was presented on Thursday, August 27, 2026, at the forecourt of the University Administration, as part of the company’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives and efforts to strengthen its partnership with the University.
Receiving the donation on behalf of the University, the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Elvis Asare-Bediako, described the gesture as timely, particularly considering the condition of some of the existing chairs at the facility. He noted that the donation demonstrated Tobinco Pharmaceuticals’ attentiveness to the needs of the University Health Services.
Prof. Asare-Bediako reaffirmed the University’s commitment to maintaining its business relationship with Tobinco Pharmaceuticals, noting that the company remains a competitive partner within the University’s structured procurement system. He explained that the University’s procurement processes are guided by established operational rules and expressed appreciation to the Chief Executive Officer of Tobinco Pharmaceuticals, Dr. Samuel Nana Amo Tobbin, for the company’s continued support to the University.
The Director of University Health Services, Dr. Solomon Fofie, expressed appreciation for the donation, noting that it comes at a time when patient attendance at the facility is increasing significantly. According to him, the growing number of patients has placed pressure on the available waiting facilities, with some patients occasionally having to stand due to inadequate seating.
Dr. Fofie commended University Management for its continued support towards improving healthcare delivery on campus and emphasised the importance of partnerships in strengthening the University’s health system. He assured that the donated chairs would be put to good use to improve patient comfort and enhance customer service at the University Health Services.
The Deputy Managing Director–Operations of Tobinco Pharmaceuticals Limited, Madam Lydia Owusu, said the donation forms part of the company’s Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives and represents a foundation for deeper collaboration between the two institutions. She noted that the company looks forward to achieving greater milestones with the University and contributing to initiatives that improve the welfare of the University community.
