As at the end of January 2016 there was a skilled workforce of 1311 labourers, managers, carpenters, masons, engineers on 6 active hospital sites across Ghana, as well as the Pharmaceutical Management System Central Stores site in Tema. The workforce is in the majority made up of Ghanaians, with over 65% of those employed from within the local communities, to where the sites are based.
As part of NMSI’s “giving back project”, the dilapidated Kugrago Primary School
building in the Garu-Tempane District of the Upper East Region was renovated by a
team of NMSI’s local employees and volunteers.
The NMSI funded project included the refurbishment of both external and internal
parts of the structure; renovation of one classroom with a concrete floor; and a football
pitch with corner flags and goal posts among others.
The Headmaster of the school, Joseph Ayambila, said he was “extremely thrilled” to have received the
support from NMSI.
Caroline Young, the Corporate Social Responsibility Manager at NMSI said the company is delighted at
the support given to the community. “This is what we enjoy doing. It is not just about bringing a new
district hospital to the area; it is also about what we can do for the community”.
NMSI and its partners have been supporting operation of the Noyaa Academy School in Jamestown, Accra, to provide basic education to children aged 4 to 17 as a gateway into mainstream education for children who would otherwise not receive any formal education. The results are astounding.
In December 2015, NMSI and British Airways sponsored a festive Christmas Dinner at school for the children. The event was organised by headmistress, Rachel Annan and attended by Derrick and Sarah from NMSI.
Rachel Annan said:
“We should be thanking you because if hadn’t been for the sponsorship we wouldn’t have been able to pull it off… The kids really enjoyed on a level that we have never had on a vacation day and the smiles on the kids’ faces was something I couldn’t describe, so thank you NMS… Well done.”
NMSI has also funded next terms academic books for all the Children to ensure their education is fully supported and encouraged.
