11. APPRECIATION
APRIDEC Medical Outreach Group (AMOG) wishes to show their appreciation to the following for their enormous contribution and support for a successful outreach programme.
The Regional Director of Health Services, Regional Health Directorate, Northern Region, Tamale
The Medical Superintendent, Gushegu District Hospital, Gushegu, N.R.
The entire staff of Gushegu District Hospital
We wish to draw the attention of the hospital administration and the Regional Director of Health Service to the unfortunate incident that forced us to depart deep in the night for Tamale and then back to Kumasi the following day in the morning. That was really scary and we hope it will not happen again. The hospital administration has not found it necessary to follow up to find out how we fared after that unfortunate incident. We do not hold it against anyone for what happened and will willing come back to help the people of Gushegu under normal circumstances. It is the deprived people in the communities, who cannot get specialist help, that our organization wants to serve and we do not wish to be involved with the local politics and politicians.
We hope to come again when appropriately invited.
Thank you for having us and giving us the opportunity to serve the people.
