Despite experiencing a shortage of nurses, the Pediatric Ward at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) has been operating in a “fairly reasonable manner,” says Ronda Henry, the head nurse
at the ward.
Henry made this comment yesterday during a simple Christmas cheer ceremony held at the ward by the furniture giant, Courts.
The furniture company donated a refrigerator and a water dispenser to the ward. The refrigerator will be used to store medications.
The Courts road show team which included Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus, Spider man, Dora and Cinderella among others, distributed over 38 gifts to the children in the ward.
The cartoon characters sang Christmas carols and had some of the children giggling while a few cried whenever Santa Claus was near but stopped crying instantly to receive their presents.
Santa Claus who clearly forgot a part of the “Jingle bell song” hummed the rest of the tune, to the delight of the kids.
Managing Director of Courts, Clyde de Haas said that their donation to the hospital every year during the Christmas season is customary and it’s all about bringing cheer to the little patients.
Noshella Lalkecharran, Deputy Head of Nursing Services at GPHC thanked the furniture giant for the donation. She said that the company had made numerous
contributions in the past to the ward.
BE THANKFUL AND GRATEFUL TO THE FOREIGN EXPLOITERS
