The Edusei Foundation, led by Dr. Kwame Bawuah-Edusei, Mrs. Evangeline Bawuah-Edusei, and their family, has donated GHC100,000 to support the ongoing renovation of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) in Kumasi, Ashanti Region.
The donation, presented on February 14, 2025, marks the foundation’s second contribution to the project, following an initial GHC100,000 donation made on June 15, 2024.
Dr. Bawuah-Edusei, a pioneer clinical medical student at KATH in 1979, made the latest donation to coincide with his 70th birthday, emphasizing his deep connection to the hospital.
“Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital has utilized the previous donations effectively, but there is still much to accomplish. So, as part of my 70th birthday, I am honored to contribute again to the renovation of this vital hospital, where I was both born and trained,” he said during the cheque presentation to Prof. Dr. Otchere Addai-Mensah, CEO of KATH.
He also highlighted KATH’s critical role in serving patients from all 16 regions of Ghana and neighboring countries such as Burkina Faso, Togo, Mali, and Ivory Coast.
“I feel a strong obligation to support this project, which aims to save lives and provide high-quality healthcare,” he added.
The Edusei Foundation’s donation is part of the broader “HEAL” project, launched by Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II as part of his 25th Anniversary Legacy Project. The initiative seeks to raise $10 million to address KATH’s infrastructural challenges and improve healthcare delivery.
Since its launch in 2024, the HEAL project has made significant progress in renovating hospital wards and acquiring medical equipment, thanks to public donations. The Edusei Foundation’s continued support strengthens efforts to enhance healthcare services at KATH.
