ASHANTI BUSINESS OWNERS ASSOCIATION (A.B.O.A) SETTLES BILLS FOR NEEDY PATIENTS AT KOMFO ANOKYE TEACHING HOSPITAL
The Executives of the Ashanti Business Owners Association (ABOA) yesterday donated a cheque of One Hundred and Four Thousand, One Hundred and Seventy Ghana Cedis (GH, 104,170.00) to Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) to settle outstanding bills of some needy patients at the hospital.
Mr. Kwasi Acheampong, spokesperson for the association, stated that the group’s humanitarian gesture was motivated by the need to assist the less-privileged in society in their hour of need.
“We are aware that most often than not, there are a number of people who had completed their treatment but their financial situations are such that they continue to stay at the hospital because they cannot pay their bills to allow for their discharge, hence, our intervention so that they could go home and be with their families”, he submitted.
The Chief Executive Officer of KATH, Prof. Otchere Addai- Mensah, disclosed that the inability of some patients to pay their bills after they have been treated continue to have adverse impact on the hospital’s finances and operations.
He expressed the gratitude of the hospital and the 21 patients who benefitted from the generosity of the association and urged other individuals and organisations to emulate the kind gesture.
