The initiative is intended to support healthcare delivery at the two facilities by improving access to essential medical supplies.

It also continues Mr Owusu-Achau’s philanthropic interventions in the health sector. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he supported 16 hospitals in the Ashanti Region with medical supplies worth millions of cedis through Manhyia.

The latest intervention, undertaken in partnership with DAF, is expected to help the beneficiary hospitals meet some of their medical supply needs and strengthen their capacity to provide care to patients.
