The Metropolitan Archbishop of Accra, the Most Rev. John Bonaventure Kwofie, has cut the sod for the construction of a children’s hospital at Atomic-Kwabenya, in Accra.
Estimated at US$ 2 million, the project is one of the initiatives the Archbishop and the Archdiocese are undertaking under the umbrella project dubbed: “Legacy of Hope” (LoH).
The ceremony was witnessed by priests from the Archdiocese as well as well-wishers, last Tuesday.
Archbishop Kwofie, speaking at the ceremony, said “every child deserves a [bright] future and there is no better way to impact a child’s future positively, than in being attentive to their needs and giving to support their development.”
Expressing gratitude to the Ghana Atomic Energy Commission (GAEC), he said acquisition of the parcel of land made available by the Commission was the first step for the implementation of the project.
Prof. Benjamin Jabez Botwe Nyarko, Director-General of the Ghana Atomic Energy Commission (GAEC), said a lot of children were dying of cancer and other diseases due to inadequate facilities to cater for their needs hence the decision to offer the land to facilitate the project.
The Vicar General of the Archdiocese of Accra, Very Rev. Fr. John Kobina Louis, presenting the project review, called on the public to contribute their quota to the agenda.
Rev. Fr. John Mintah Mensah, Parish Priest of the Atomic St. Patrick Catholic Church and member of Project Management Team, also appealed to corporate bodies and institutions to adopt a ward or department when the project is completed.

About 120 golfers from clubs across Ghana participated in an 18-hole competition, dubbed ‘MTN 30th Anniversary CEO Invitational Golf Tournament’ held at the Achimota Golf Club on Saturday.
At the end of the hectic day, Frederick Semenu Duvor won the Men’s Group A event with 39 points, while Julienne Afi claimed the Ladies’ Group A title with the same score.
Yaw Mireku Jnr. won the Men’s Group B with an impressive 45 points, while Kous Louanges Mang took the Ladies’ Group B title with 38 points.
Kofi Mangesi won Men’s Group C with 40 points while Elorm R. Akuash Bonney claimed the Ladies’ version with 42 points.
In the Seniors Division, Jan Vogel emerged winner of the men’s category with 39 gross, while Helen Appah topped the ladies’ category with 44 gross.
Addressing participants, the company’s Board Chairman, Mr Ishmael Yamson, urged the company to approach its next phase with the same resilience, discipline and determination that have defined its success over the past three decades.
He drew a striking parallel between the game of golf and MTN Ghana’s three-decade journey, describing both as long games in which success depends less on one spectacular moment than on consistency, patience, judgment and the ability to recover from setbacks.
He said, golf had taught him a lesson that extended far beyond the fairways, thus, a round cannot be won on the first hole.
In golfing terms, he said, MTN Ghana had encountered its share of regulatory bunkers, competitive hazards and unexpected storms that had forced the company to pause, reassess and change its approach.
But those challenges, he suggested, were part of the journey rather than reasons to abandon it.
