A remarkable act of generosity has brought more smiles to patients at the Urology and Nephrology Centre of Excellence (UNCOE) after an anonymous philanthropist donated a cheque of One Hundred Thousand Ghana Cedis (GH¢100,000).
The donation was split into two impactful initiatives: GH¢48,000 was used to purchase fifteen (15) 50-inch television sets, which have now been installed across various wards to provide comfort and entertainment for patients during their recovery, while GH¢52,000 has been reserved to assist patients who struggle to pay their medical bills.
According to Professor J. E. Mensah, Director of the facility, the philanthropist is a strong Christian who believes that service to man is service to God.
Prof Mensah formally received the donation on behalf of the Chief Executive and the entire staff of Korle Bu Teaching Hospital.
He expressed heartfelt appreciation on behalf of both patients and staff and noted that the television sets would help ease the stress of hospitalisation, while the financial support fund would ensure that no patient is denied care due to financial hardship.
This act of compassion underscores the importance of community support in healthcare. By combining comfort with financial assistance, the anonymous donor has not only improved the quality of life for patients but also strengthened the facility's mission to deliver care with dignity and empathy.
