It was led by the Deputy Field Office Police Coordinator and Acting Field Office Police Coordinator, Madam Anke Lute,\u00a0accompanied by\u00a0Madam Doaa\u00a0Elnagar\u00a0of the FPU Coordination Office in Bentiu.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Ghanaian contingent was headed by the Deputy Commanding Officer, Chief Superintendent Rosina Adwoa Donkor Gariba, supported by six senior police officers and\u00a017\u00a0other ranks, including\u00a014\u00a0inspectors.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Ghana Formed Police Unit One\u00a0in a statement\u00a0to\u00a0the Ghana News Agency\u00a0said\u00a0that the team\u00a0comprised\u00a0six females and\u00a017\u00a0males and deployed six UNMISS vehicles for the operation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Addressing the gathering, Chief Superintendent Gariba conveyed Christmas goodwill on behalf of the Contingent Commander, Chief Superintendent Bismark Achaab, and underscored the broader purpose of the outreach.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThis exercise reflects our commitment to civil-military cooperation and to standing with communities, especially during moments of need,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Madam Lute reaffirmed UNMISS\u2019s mandate to support communities within its Area of Responsibility.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cHealth and security go hand in hand. We encourage residents to take personal health seriously and to\u00a0maintain\u00a0close cooperation with the police for collective safety,\u201d she noted.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Head of the Medical Team, Superintendent Dr. Agyekum\u00a0Kwabena Ampofo, stressed the importance of solidarity during the festive season.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The outreach also featured a brief choreography performance by the Ghanaian officers, drawing applause from community members, before the official presentation of medical supplies and food items to hospital management and local leaders.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Receiving the items, the Head of the\u00a0Bieh\u00a0Community Hospital\u00a0Mr.\u00a0Bakuony\u00a0Tap Long\u00a0expressed appreciation, describing the donation as\u00a0timely.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThese supplies have come when we are facing serious shortages,\u201d he said, appealing for further\u00a0assistance\u00a0to construct an extension to the facility to meet growing demand.\u00a0<\/p>\n

UNMISS officials\u00a0have\u00a0described\u00a0the programme\u00a0as a successful civil\u2013military engagement.\u00a0<\/p>\n
