The money, she also noted was solicited from traders and sellers at the markets under her.

She pledged the groups’ support towards the Heal Komfo Anokye Project, adding that they will help out anytime they are called upon to do so.

“We paid our widows mite during the grand durbar where other individuals and organisations donated money towards the project and we are determined to support KATH every day since this is our own hospital 🏥”, Nana Kyeiwaah stated.

On his part, Professor Addai-Mensah thanked the two market groups for the gesture.

He said he was overwhelmed by the show of support by the women dominated groups.

The CEO urged them to apart from the donations also pray for the success of the ongoing renovation works.

“I thank you very much for this show of support and i will humbly ask that you pray for the success of the project so that together we can share in the joy of doing something good”, Prof Addai-Mensah appealed.
