The items were presented on the player's behalf by the country representative of the player, Andrews Akavani, in line with the objective of the foundation to support the less privileged in society.

"The foundation was established in 2001 and we have done several work, which has to do with supporting the needy. However, Madina Polyclinic, Kekele, was highly recommended this year. We were told the staff do very well but they are not well-equipped, hence the decision to come to their aid," said Mr Akavani.

"As you can see, we have brought several items including beds and pillows specifically for the maternity ward," he added.

Receiving the items on behalf of the clinic was Dr Emmanuel Addo Asante, the family physcian specialist, who expressed gratitude to the foundation, as spotted on social media.

"I will use this opportunity to thank the Emmanuel Gyasi foundation for the donation made. This is very needed, we cannot do it all by ourselves and with this donation, it will go along way to help. We are really grateful to the Emmanuel Gyasi foundation," he said.
