According to him, this is another good sign of their continues support to the health sector. He called on other organisations to come and support the RVTH.  He added “as said by our leader, Professor Jammeh, in order for the country to attain the MDGs, each and every individual and organisation should come on board because government cannot do it all”. He then stated that the assistance of the Baptist Church towards the health sector, will go a long way in improving the health services of the Gambian people. He, on behalf of the entire staff saluted Glory Baptist for their generosity.
