A phone company gave Christmas presents to some babies. MTN Ghana handed out gift hampers to sixty newborns in the Volta and Oti Regions on Christmas Day, hitting hospitals like Ho Teaching Hospital and Comboni Hospital in Sogakope. Their regional boss, Mawuli Katahena, said staff skip their holiday to do this every year to cheer up mothers who deliver while everyone else celebrates.
He also mentioned a bigger plan than just baby gifts. Katahena confirmed budget approval for a major network expansion across both regions, aiming to fix spotty service and reach places with no signal. Part of that includes laying fiber optic cables in Ho first, then later in towns like Hohoe and Krachi, to give businesses and people faster internet. Hospital workers and the new moms thanked the company for the donations, calling them a helpful boost during a special time.
