In a bid to make women re­sourceful to enable them to con­tribute their quota to the progress of the family, Adamus Resources Limited in collaboration with the College of Beauty Arts and Entre­preneurship, recently launched a Women Empowerment (WE) Project at Aiyinase in Ellembelle District of the Western Region.

The project would benefit 100 women in the Ellembelle District including Anwia, TelekuBokazo, Kikam, Asanda, Nkroful, Salman, Akanzo and Akropong, aimed at equipping them with skills to be self -reliant, .

Beneficiaries would be trained in make -up artistry, hair technol­ogy, products formation, millinery and accessories for six months. The organisers have planned to enrol another batch of 100 women within the year.

Speaking at the launch, the Chief Executive of Adamus Resources Limited, MsAngela List, said the project would impact the lives of many people in the selected com­munities.

She stressed “It is our hope that such an investment in training and entrepreneurship programmes would impact Ghanaians. Majority of the wealthiest people across the globe are entrepreneurs because they’re able to identify and capital­ise on industry’s demand.

“Today, the beauty industry is valued over $500 billion. Skills development is the easiest way to becoming an entrepreneur because it opens an avenue to train others to enable them to benefit from the revenue they generate and create better lives for themselves and their families,” she said.

She was happy that women had dominated the space in the ev­er-growing beauty industry and was optimistic that this would continue since men had restricted access to some industries.

“It is important for each person especially women to be self-reliant since the inequalities in the job market do not favour us. Acquiring skills that can be monetised is the first step towards self reliance,” she said.

She asked the participantsto be serious, ask the appropriate ques­tions and make the right connec­tions.

She commendedthe College of Beauty Arts and Entrepreneurship for the vision in establishing the project and was proud that Adamus resources was associated with it.

The CEO , College of Beauty Arts and Entrepreneurship, Ms Rebecca Donkor, said the institute had been accredited by the Commission of Technical and Vocational Educa­tion and Training (TVET) and could afford the women opportunity to study visual communication, digital media and social marketing and that the certificates would provide good prospects for the beneficia ­ries, and make them to become all -round women entrepreneurs.

UGMC disputes Michael Blackson’s claims over late mother’s treatment

Published

on

The University of Ghana Medical Centre (UGMC) has disputed claims made on social media by comedian Michael Blackson concerning the treatment given to his late mother, saying a review found that the allegations did not accurately reflect what happened during her stay at the hospital.

In a statement issued in Accra on August 5, 2026, the management of UGMC expressed condolences to Mr. Blackson and his family over the death of his 83-year-old mother, who died at the facility on July 16, 2026.

The hospital said it had taken the concerns raised by Mr. Blackson seriously and conducted a thorough review in line with its clinical and administrative procedures.

According to the statement, the facts presented by Mr. Blackson on social media contained “numerous inaccuracies” and did not accurately reflect the medical care provided to his mother.

UGMC explained that she was referred to the facility from another hospital and received treatment there from May 27 to July 16, 2026, a period of about eight weeks.

The hospital stated that it would not release details of her diagnosis, treatment, medical records or other aspects of her care because it had a duty to protect patient confidentiality, even after death.

It said the decision was intended to respect the dignity of the deceased and the privacy of her family.

UGMC further stated that all clinical decisions at the facility are made by qualified healthcare professionals based on medical judgment, established standards of care and the best interests of the patient.

The statement added that such decisions are made in consultation with authorised family representatives where necessary and that billing and financial procedures are governed by institutional policies and are separate from clinical decision-making.

The hospital noted that it values feedback from patients and their families and considers both positive and negative comments important for improving the quality of care.

Mr. Blackson had earlier used social media to criticise the care his mother received at UGMC, prompting the hospital’s response.
