The donation came through one Dr Lamin E.F Jaiteh of the Edward Francis Small Teaching Hospital, who later handed over the machine to the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare. Speaking at the occasion, Dr Lamin E.F Jaiteh stated that the machine donated will go a long way in addressing the health needs of Gambians and non-Gambians alike. He described the coming of the C-Arm machine as timely revealing that the machine is use for bones and heart surgery. According to him, the C-Arm machine will greatly help to ease the work of doctors at the hospital. Dr Jaiteh thanked the Norwegians doctors for the donation noting that this will add another moral boost to the hospital and the health sector as a whole. The director of Health Services Dr Samba Ceesay, on behalf of the Health minister thanked the donors for the support and urged others to emulate the good gesture. He said health is everybody’s business and contributing in the health sector is a worthy cause.
