Aduro Ye Herbal Center, producers of one of Ghana’s highly patronized medicinal herb-based alcoholic beverages, Obuasi Bitters, has donated towards the Heal Komfo Anokye Project.
The firm has given the project a sum of GJ₵200,000.00 towards the renovation of the largest teaching hospital in the middle and northern belt of Ghana.
The initiative is part of the Asantehene’s 25th Anniversary Legacy Projects.
It seeks to mobilize resources and funding to implement a comprehensive solution that will improve the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital’s (KATH) infrastructure.
This is to ensure that the facility continues to provide a more functional and efficient healthcare environment that promotes healing, comfort, and safety for the people of the Ashanti Region and beyond.
The project, launched by the Overlord of the Asante Kingdom, Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, will be renovating the tertiary referral facility which has not seen any major refurbishment since it was built some seventy years ago.
The Chief Executive Officer of Aduro Ye Herbal Center, producers of Obuasi Bitters, Dr. Collins Amo, during the presentation of the sum indicated that his outfit was touched by the plight of the hospital which serves the specialist needs of the southern belt.
“We have our establishment at Obuasi and indeed the Asante Region. We know that we all face dire health conditions, and our best resort is the Okomfo Anokye Teaching Hospital. If the hospital is in distress, we should all be concerned and that is why we felt the need to make this very crucial donation to the hospital,” he noted.
Dr. Amo encouraged other businesses and institutions to support the project to give the hospital a facelift.
