Quote: “I strongly believe that any success I have had in my life is due to the excellent foundation I had growing up in Ghana. Therefore, it is my duty to give back and help build Ghana, my Motherland. Ghana is making great progress in other sectors of its economy.
However, the healthcare sector has not improved to the level to adequately provide the quality of healthcare needed for its citizens. The government continues to do its part in the development of healthcare in the country. Now, it is time for the citizens and natives of Ghana to come together and assist in building a world-class healthcare system.”
