The generated amount will be presented to the project up till the completion of the full renovation of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital.

By the arrangement, a unit of each of the company’s products sold on the market has a component dedicated for the course.

The first donation of 30,000 cedis has been made, in anticipation of a series of donations to be made from the dedicated fund.

Founder of the Ebenage Herbal, Dr. Ebenezer Agyemang highlighted the company’s dedication to ensure the necessary support is offered to the KATH renovation works.

“Every bottle of Hepa Plus, Pavi and Plasmus capsule or bottle sold, there is a fraction set aside to support the Heal Komfo Anokye Project; from today, we will ensure that whatever amount accrued in a short time is presented to the fund”, he said.

He emphasized “our donations will be directly proportional to the sales of the product. If the patronage is high, the amount and frequency of our visit will be high”.

Under the Heal KATH Project, three of the hospital’s wards have since been upgraded to modern status.

Phase one of the project, termed the demonstration floors, has seen significant renovations, including the completion of works on the leaking roofs and exterior overhauling of dilapidated offices, wards and compartments.

Presently, a process is underway to put the three renovated wards in use to make room for the commencement of the second phase of the project.

Medical Director, Dr. Kwadwo Sarbeng has called for continuous donations to the project spearheaded by the Asantehene.

“This is a project mainly based on donor funding, so we still have a long way to go. We say that people should not stop donating towards the project. There shouldn’t be donor fatigue”, he said.

The association donated cash to the tune of 100 thousand cedis as its first tranche to support the project.

Not until now, the 70-year-old facility had no extensive renovation resulting in deterioration of the wards and offices.

Spearheaded by the Asantehene, the hospital which was in a debilitating state is now seeing some of its wards in advanced stages of refurbishment.

Although mobilized funds for the project are currently about 40% of the 10 million dollars target, roofing works, painting, and installation of wiring and toilet facilities are nearing completion.

Ashanti Regional President of the Association, George Arkoh Mensah says the donation would not only cater for the healthcare needs of themselves but also their clientele.

“We decided to invest in this project so that most of our clients who visit our facilities would have the best of care should they fall sick when they visit the region for economic activities or any relaxation endeavours. We believe this would go far to even support ourselves and families,” he said.

Mr. Arkoh Mensah led a delegation of the hoteliers in the region to make the cash presentation and tour the facility as works continue aggressively.

The group was impressed with the work done thus far as the project team race against time to have the phase one of the renovation works completed by close of November this year.

When completed, the facility would serve as a magnificently modernized edifice delivering best of healthcare to the Ashanti region and 12 other regions of Ghana.

Kuapa Kokoo and the Ghana Association of Garages Zone 13 are the latest groups to make a generous donation to the project.

The organizations donated 100,000 and 20,000 Ghana cedis respectively to support the Heal Komfo Anokye Project.

As a major referral health facility to 12 regions of the country, the infrastructure and medical installations at the hospital are deteriorating, prompting an urgent need for renovations.

Speaking at a short presentation event, Chief Executive Officer of KATH, Prof Otchere Addai Mensah reiterated the need for the project to be expedited to provide improved healthcare to patients.

“KATH has always been the primary healthcare facility for a lot of Ghanaians and for that reason the board of the project will seek to support this project to achieve its intended purpose,” he said.

Reaffirming the hospital’s commitment to providing quality medical care, Prof Addai Mensah assured of accounting for every dime that would be contributed to the hospital project.

“With a rich history of providing quality services, the board of Heal Komfo Anokye Project will account for any contributions to ensure transparency.

“We are committed to the enhancement of healthcare infrastructure whenever necessary, and ensuring accessible and high- quality healthcare services to the people of Asanteman,” he said.

Chairman of the Ghana Association of Garages Zone 13, Eric Ahen and the National President, Kuapa Kokoo Farmers and Marketing Union, James Agyekum Kwarteng Managing led a delegation to make the donation at the hospital.

Prof. Otchere Addai Mensah on behalf of the board of the project expressed his profound appreciation to the group.

Although the project has realized 50 percent of its targeted amount for refurbishment, more hands are needed on deck to support the Asantehene to revamp the hospital named after Asante’s revered priest.

In supporting the Asantehene achieve its legacy of renovating only referral hospital serving 12 out of the 16 regions in Ghana, Sinapi Aba Savings and Loans Limited has presented a cash donation of Seventy Thousand Ghana Cedis to help with refurbishment of the health facility.

The donation comes as the Asantehene makes a call for a collective effort to raise $10 million for the renovation of the hospital in Kumasi.

The financial institution made the donation when leadership of the company paid a courtesy call on the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II at Manhyia.

Chief Executive Office of Sinapi, Tony Fosu underscored the essence of the loans company’s support to the project to ensure that quality healthcare is delivery to the people of Ashanti region and beyond.

The hospital is being renovated as part of the legacy project of the king in celebration of his silver jubilee anniversary to be marked in April.

Mr Fosu expressed congratulatory sentiments to the King for his exemplary leadership over the past 25 years as the occupant of the Golden Stool which has seen an enabling environment for businesses to thrive.

“We are grateful for the opportunity you’ve given us to serve the people of Asanteman. You have created a conducive environment to ensure our business as a savings and loans company thrive and gladly we have. We are marking our 30th anniversary because you created an opportunity for us to expand,” he said.

He took the opportunity to inform the Asantehene the company’s 30th Anniversay and shared some of the activities lined up to celebrate the milestone.

Otumfuo Osei Tutu II acknowledged the role financial institutions like Sinapi Aba play in ensuring individuals, micro, small and medium-scale businesses grow especially in accessing to financial services.

He was particularly pleased that Sinapi Aba has weathered every storm to achieve the thirty-year milestone, citing determination and good governance as the reasons.

He urged the leadership to continue with their good works and beyond the 30 years to achieve greater heights.

Sinapi Aba has 44 branches and operates in every district of the country, reaching over 600,000 clients.

Board Chairman for Sinapi Aba, Kwasi Atta Antwi and a Board Member, Dorothy Danso, also took turns to express their profound gratitude to the King for his unwavering support and encouragement all these years.

They formally invited the King to grace the company’s anniversary of Sinapi Aba slated to happen later in the year.
