The medication was specifically prescribed by the prison\u2019s medical staff.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Jaiteh, whose company has supported the Gambia Prison Service for over 35 years, highlighted the importance of his donation, noting that many inmates arrive at the prisons without proper clothing. He said the donation, which included blankets and jumpers, was timed to prepare inmates for the upcoming cold season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe government cannot do everything. It is the responsibility of every citizen to enhance the lives of others,\u201d Jaiteh stated during the presentation. He urged other Gambians and philanthropists to support the Prison Service, commending them for their \u201cvaluable job\u201d in reforming, rehabilitating, and reintegrating inmates with livelihood skills.<\/p>\n<p>Keita Saidy, the Deputy Director of the Gambia Prison Service, expressed profound gratitude to Mr. Jaiteh. \u201cImprovement of the prisoners\u2019 condition is everyone\u2019s responsibility,\u201d Saidy said. \u201cThis shows his commitment to improving the conditions of inmates and complementing government efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Superintendent Yusupha Jabang, head of the medical unit at the Gambia Prison Services, emphasized that the donation of medicine came at a \u201cvery crucial time.\u201d He highlighted that many inmates suffer from chronic conditions such as high blood pressure and diabetes, as well as common ailments like malaria and skin infections. \u201cThese medicines will go a long way in helping us to medically provide care for our inmates,\u201d Jabang added.<\/p>\n<p>Other speakers, including Commissioner Lamin Sowe and Commissioner Buba Jatta, echoed similar sentiments, praising Mr. Jaiteh for his continuous support.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Gambia<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
