The Oncology Clinic of the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) on Friday received a quantity of face masks and turbans for distribution to women and girls undergoing chemotherapy.

The donation of 100 masks and 100 turbans was made by the charity Girls Inspire Girls, which is a non-profit organisation comprising a group of women whose aim is to make a difference in the lives of women and girls in whatever way they can.

Sasha Pollard, the Founder of Girls Inspire Girls, told Sunday Stabroek that the organisation saw the need for the donation and through their various charitable donors was able to deliver. She said that the items would benefit many patients, especially during the pandemic.
