Former German footballer Gerald Asamoah has won the admiration of Ghanaians after bringing a team of doctors and nurses from Germany to perform life-saving surgeries on Ghanaian children with hole-in-the-heart conditions.
On Saturday, November 2, 2024, over 40 medical professionals from the Gerald Asamoah Foundation arrived in Ghana as part of the foundation’s annual free open-heart surgery program.
Reports indicate that the selected beneficiaries are set to begin their procedures shortly.
Popular Ghanaian blogger Zionfelix captured the heartfelt moment, sharing a video on Instagram that showcased the warm welcome extended to the German medical team.
In 2023, Mr. Asamoah’s initiative enabled 50 children with hole-in-the-heart conditions to receive free surgeries, with the same foundation coordinating the arrival of skilled German doctors and nurses for the operations.
