Speaking at the event, the Contingent Commander of the Ghanaian troops, Lieutenant Colonel Abraham Puoriyelle Dery emphasised the importance of the blood donation exercise noting that it was aimed at saving lives. According to the CIMIC Officer of GHANCOY 8, Captain Christle Konadu Odame, blood donation had been a regular feature of previous Ghanaian deployments, and involving GDSF personnel for the first time she hoped would go a long way in enhancing relations with the local populace and security forces. In furtherance of Civil-Military Cooperation (CIMIC) and strengthening ties with security elements in The Gambia, Ghana Company (GHANCOY) 8 has collaborated with the Gambian Defence and Security Forces (GDSF) to donate blood at the Essau District Hospital in the North Bank Region on Friday 18 July, 2024.
