The Ashanti Regional Coordinating Committee (ARCC) of The Church of Pentecost has generously donated GHC 50,000.00 to support the “Heal Komfo Anokye Project,” an initiative by the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, to commemorate his 25th Anniversary on the Golden Stool.
The Ashanti RCC Coordinator, Apostle Yaw Adjei-Kwarteng, who is also the Kwadaso Area Head, on behalf of the leadership of the Church, presented a cheque to the hospital management.
He was accompanied by Prophet Samuel Tetteh Doku (New Tafo Area Head) and Apostle Gideon Obeng-Darko Debrah (Atonsu Area Head).
Apostle Adjei-Kwarteng explained that after receiving a distressed letter from Manhyia about the dire state of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH), they conducted a tour of the facility and witnessed the challenges firsthand, prompting their decision to support its revitalization.
Mr. Fred Effah Yeboah, the Director of Administration at KATH, gratefully received the donation on behalf of the hospital’s CEO. He emphasized the significance of The Church of Pentecost’s contribution to the facility that has been in operation since 1955 without major renovations.
He said that the gesture by The Church of Pentecost goes beyond monetary value, saying, “It serves as a call to action for collective efforts in enhancing healthcare infrastructure in Ghana.”
He encouraged other religious bodies, organizations, and individuals to follow the Church’s example, highlighting the transformative impact of collective goodwill in addressing healthcare challenges.
Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital plays a crucial role in providing essential medical services to a significant portion of the population, serving seven out of the sixteen regions of Ghana.
