Liberia's oldest and largest GSM Company, the Lone Star Communication Company continues to demonstrate how humanitarian it is by donating five Desk Phones to about five healthcare institutions in the country.
Institutions that benefited from the company's humanitarian gestures included the St. Joseph Catholic Hospital, the Firestone Hospital, the John F. Kennedy Hospital, SOS Clinic and the Merlin Clinic.
Making the donation recently at its offices in Congo Town, the Marketing Officer of Lone star Cell, Ibrahim Daramie said the donation was in response to the overwhelming desire to support the country's health care delivery system, keep it effective and intact.
He noted that the lack of free communication network in the health sector of Liberia has resulted to the deaths of many and added that each of said desk phone cost US$160.
The Lone star Cell marketing officer also disclosed that said phones can be used for both medical doctors and Nurses in emergency situations and cases to save the lives of patients.
Receiving the items on behalf of the Healthcare Director of the Family Division at the Ministry of Health, Dr. Saye Baawo thanked Lone Star for the donation and at the same appealed to the company to extend such goodwill outside of Monrovia to help others.
Since 2008, the Lone Star Cell has been engaged in humanitarian work by helping the needy people and institutions in the country, putting the cost at over US$200.000.
