Vice-President Dr. Bawumia together with Fr. Andrew Campbell (2nd left), Board Chair of Princess Marie Loiuse Children\u2019s Hospital, Ambrose Dery (left) and Cynthia Morrison cut the cake.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dr.
\nMahamudu Bawumia, the Vice-President, turned 56 yesterday, an occasion he
\nmarked unusually.<\/p>\n

He spent a moment with
\npatients at the Princess Marie Louis Children\u2019s Hospital in Accra and also had
\ntime with autism patients at the Autism Awareness Care Training Centre at
\nKokomlemle, Accra
\n\u2014 engagements which they relished.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

He was accompanied by Interior Minister, Ambrose Dery; Greater Accra Regional Minister, Ishmael Ashitey; Gender and Children\u2019s Affairs Minister, Cynthia Morrison; Deputy Minister for Energy, Dr. Amin Anta; Mayor of Accra, Nii Adjei Sowah; Chief Executive for National Petroleum Authority (NPA), Hassan Tampuli; National Chairman for the Premix Secretariat and NPP Parliamentary Candidate for Odododiodoo, Nii Lante Bannerman; and the Administrator of the District Assemblies Common Fund (DACF), Irene Naa Torshie.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

At
\nChildren\u2019s Hospital, the Vice-President\u2019s entourage was received by Reverend
\nFather Andrew Campbell, Board Chairman of the hospital.<\/p>\n

Dr.
\nBawumia said \u201clife as we know it is really a gift from God and everyday you
\nwake up and you are still breathing, you thank God for that day; and when God
\nadds a year to your life, you thank God for that year.\u201d<\/p>\n

He
\nalso said \u201cI thought when God blesses you, you also have to try and bring those
\nblessings to people who are less fortunate in one way or the other than
\nyourself,\u201d adding \u201cfor those of us who have been able to get up, walk around,
\ndrink or eat some food today, we are very fortunate\u2026there are people who are
\nlying sick in the hospital\u2026there are many children who are sick who will love
\nto be able to just walk and eat who are not able to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n

After
\ncutting a birthday cake with the kids and management of the Children\u2019s
\nHospital, Dr. Bawumia also made cash donation of GH\u00a210, 000 and committed himself to see to the
\nimprovement of conditions at the place.<\/p>\n

Medical
\nSuperintendent at the 94-year-old health facility, Dr. Maame Yaa Nyarko said the
\nplace needed a facelift befitting the status of a children\u2019s hospital.<\/p>\n

At
\nthe autism centre, the Vice-President gave 25 bags of rice, five cartons of
\ncooking oil and cash donation of GH\u00a220, 000.<\/p>\n

He commended the management of the facility for doing a marvelous work.<\/p>\n
