The Edward Osei Boakye Trust has presented a cheque for the procurement of surgical lamps in fulfilment of its pledge to provide essential medical equipment to the Wa West District Hospital.

The hospital had been grappling with the lack of proper surgery lamps, leaving doctors to rely on the feeble glow of their mobile phone lights during critical surgeries. This dire situation had a profound impact on healthcare delivery within the facility.

Upon learning of this distressing predicament through a report by JoyNews’ Rafik Salam, the Trust swiftly made a promise to provide the much-needed equipment.

Gerard H.O Boakye, a trustee and the executive secretary of the Trust fund, presented a generous cheque on behalf of the Trust to cover the cost of the medical equipment, emphasising that such philanthropic endeavours align perfectly with the Trust's vision and mandate, and demonstrates its unwavering commitment to advancing healthcare in Ghana.

The Edward Osei Boakye Trust Fund stands as a testament to the late Edward Osei Boakye's unwavering dedication to uplifting lives and communities through advanced healthcare and education. By harnessing resources from the residual real estate of Edward Osei Boakye and fostering sustainable partnerships and investment portfolios, the Trust ensures the efficient administration of the Trust Fund and its core activities.

In addition to fulfilling the pledge to the Wa West District Hospital, the Trust has an extensive history of making extensive contributions in healthcare and various other sectors.

Notably, the Trust has dedicated substantial funds to refurbishing and re-equipping the Clinical Lecture Theatre at Korle-Bu, the prestigious University of Ghana Medical School.

Furthermore, it has provided two ambulances and 10 hospital beds to be allocated to hospitals serving disadvantaged communities. Support has also been extended to the M. G. C. For Women & Children's care package, aimed at assisting vulnerable individuals and the Ghana Infectious Disease Centre.

The Trust has consistently lent aid to organisations like the Leukaemia Project Foundation, while also offering substantial assistance to over a hundred individuals in need of critical healthcare. Their philanthropy has reached institutions such as the Matthew 25 House Project Ghana, the Sickle Cell awareness initiative, the Rheumatology Initiative, the Ghana Society of Haematology, the Juaben Medical Facility, Father Campbell’s Weija Leprosarium, The Voice of Innocent Children Group, and the Winneba hospital, among others.

Undoubtedly, the Edward Osei Boakye Trust Fund remains devoted to effecting real change and fostering impactful growth in the lives of individuals and communities.
