The #SaveThemNow fundraising event jointly held by The Multimedia Group and the First Lady, Mrs Rebecca Akufo-Addo to save babies and mothers at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) received a massive support from individuals and companies.

The event which is targeted at raising an initial GHS10 million to put up a new Mother and Baby Unit for the largest hospital in the Ashanti Region, as well as other referral hospitals, saw companies such as GHACEM, producers of cement, and Promasidor manufacturers of cowbell donating money and other items.

So far, the event spurred on by complications mothers and their newborn babies face at the Mother and Baby Unit at KATH, raised GHS 7,695,444 in cash, cheques and pledges.
