Monrovia, July 19, 2024-The Foundation of President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, a.k.a. JNB Foundation, has donated several baby items to the Japanese Friendship Maternity Hospital at the John F. Kennedy (JFK) Medical Center in Monrovia.

The donation includes baby rubber tops, buckets, chairs, and gifts wrapped in red and blue, which were later distributed to mothers of newborns.

During the turnover ceremony at JFK, the President spoke with hospital officials and presented a white envelope to Dr. Dama Yekeson Koffa, the hospital’s Deputy Chief Executive Officer for Administration, commending the hospital staff for their efforts.

In return, Dr. Dama Yekeson Koffa thanked President Boakai for the donation, emphasizing their appreciation for the initiative to support pregnant women.

One beneficiary expressed excitement about the President’s visit and thanked him for considering their needs during his visit.
