Rehab centre receives donation of supplies

The Ptolemy Reid Rehabilitation Centre recently received a supply of medical items to boost its services, from the Food for the Poor (FFP) organisation.

In a press release, FFP said it handed over items such as three large, double carrier strollers, sanitary gloves, orthopaedic cushions, adult pampers, foot supports, back supports, a table and a supply of hospital sheets and curtains.

FFP Projects Officer Andrea Benjamin said because of the role the centre plays in developing the lives of children who are physically challenged the organisation was pleased to make the donation and pledged its continuous support.

Keith Pellew, a nurse at the centre, said it has benefited tremendously over the years from donations from FFP and was thankful.

The presentation was held at the centre’s Carmichael Street location.
