The Ghana Hotels Association has contributed GHC100,000 as its first tranche toward the Asantehene’s “Heal KATH” revenue mobilization drive to raise $10 million for the renovation of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH).
The donation marks the association’s commitment to enhancing healthcare, ensuring their clients and the broader community receive quality medical care when needed.
“We decided to invest in this project so that most of our clients who visit our facilities would have the best of care should they fall sick when they visit the region for economic activities or relaxation. We believe this would even support ourselves and our families,” said Mr. Arkoh Mensah, who led a delegation of hoteliers to make the cash presentation.
The team also toured the 70-year-old hospital, which is undergoing its first extensive renovation to address deteriorating wards and offices. They expressed satisfaction with the progress, as the project team pushes to complete Phase One by the end of November.
When fully renovated, the facility will stand as a modernized healthcare center, serving the Ashanti Region and 12 other regions across Ghana.
