An entrepreneur and Chief Executive Officer of Aduro Ye Herbal Center, producers of Obuasi Bitters and Obuasi Gringo bitters, Dr. Collins Amo has donated the sum of GH¢200,000 towards the ‘ Heal KATH’ project, an initiative of the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.
The ‘Heal KATH’ project is aimed at raising an amount of $10 million to support the extensive renovation of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital in Kumasi.
It would be recalled that the Asantehene recently launched an appeal to encourage individuals and corporate organizations to help mobilize financial resources to undertake a comprehensive renovation of KATH to help improve and strengthen quality healthcare at the only referral hospital in the northern part of the country.
According to Dr. Collins Amo, as a thriving business operating in the Ashanti Region, they were motivated to heed to the appeals by the King of Ashanti.
“We deemed the call by Otumfuo to support the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital as a laudable one and a worthy cause hence we decided to also donate and see a better KATH.”
He congratulated the Asantehene on his 25th Anniversary of his installation as the 16th occupant of the Golden Stool saying, he has led by example and his reign has positively affected many people in Ghana and abroad.
Dr. Amo also underscored the importance of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital as a strategic referral hospital. He said it was important to improve the facilities of KATH to deliver the quality healthcare services that is expected of such a facility.
The Chairman of the Heal Komfo Anokye (Teaching Hospital) project team, Sammy Adu Boakye, who received the donation, commended Dr. Collins Amo and his team from Aduro ye Herbal center for the donation.
He reiterated that the vision of the project as spearheaded by the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, was to bring infrastructure at KATH to international standard to enhance healthcare delivery at the facility, which served about 12 regions of the country.
He called on other institutions and individuals to also come on board and contribute towards giving a facelift to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital.
