A’VITA GHANA pays for release of 26 detained postpartum mothers

A’VITA Ghana has donated GH₵ 114,000 to the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital (KBTH) to settle medical bills of 26 detained mothers and their newborns.

A’VITA GHANA is a non-governmental organisation (NGO) that supports financially crippled women who are unable to afford their hospital bills.

The gesture was to assist the mothers to pay off their debts incurred at the hospital upon their discharge.

, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), A’VITA GHANA, said the donation was to show love and care to mothers who were unable to settle their bills after being discharged.

She said the organisation was dedicated to assisting poor patients to pay their medical expenses in KBTH.

“A’VITA Ghana resonates with life and love, and we are happy to assist all patients with cash of over 114,000 to show love to them,” she said.

“We chose Korle-Bu because they were willing to receive help from the organisation,” she added.

Madam Elizabeth Kyei, Deputy Chief Midwifery Officer (DCMO), who received the donation on behalf of KBTH, commended A’VITA GHANA for their generous offer.

The beneficiaries said, “Most of us have been discharged, but because we cannot settle our bills, we are still here in the hospital.”

A’VITA GHANA was founded in February 2025 and it is spearheaded by Professor Arthur Sackeyfio, a Retired Founding Dean of the University Of Ghana School of Pharmacy, Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital.
