Becca, Dr Javaka Moore donate medical equipment to public hospitals in Ghana
Ghanaian music diva, Rebecca Acheampong, affectionately called Becca together with a United States of American based Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, has donated some major medical equipment to some hospitals in the country.
Becca, on August 14, visited the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital to commence the donation exercise.
According to her, during her delivery in the United States of America (USA) last year, she realised there were no nurses at the labour ward, however, they could monitor everything the baby was going through.
Becca, then asked what they were using, for which she was told it was fetal monitors, and it was against this backdrop that efforts were made through her Becca Hearts Foundation together with Dr Javaka Moore of Maryland, USA, to make the donations possible.
The items donated consisted of 131 fetal monitors, 51 patient monitors and 20 pulse oximeter.
These equipment would be shared amongst the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, Ridge Teaching Hospital, Ho Hospital, National Cathedral Hospital and a few more public hospitals.
It is the aim of the two organisations that these would further assist with the monitoring of babies to ensure safety delivery to reduce death in public hospitals.
The availability of these machines would enable the hospitals to carry out mandatory monitoring of all pregnant women to ensure the safety of the unborn child and the mother.
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, Dr Daniel Asare, and his management team hosted Becca at the hospital and expressed their excitement for the gesture.
Also in attendance was the Chief Medical Director of Ridge hospital, Dr Sefenyo and the Head of Neo-Natal, Korle-Bu Prof. Christabel Enweronu-Laryea.

Osanju is dead
Popular Ghanaian content creator, Elvis Frimpong, known in showbiz circles as Osanju has been reported dead.
According to sources, he was said to have died in the early hours on Monday, September 1, 2025 after a long battle with blood cancer (Leukemia)
His death has been a shock in the Ghanaian community especially coming shortly after his last post.
His demise comes five months after he had laid his mother, Amounu, also a tiktoker, to rest, having lost her in January.
Hours before his passing, he had posted a video on Sunday with friends watching the Barcelona vs. Rayo Vallecano match, prompting many fans to initially dismiss the reports as a hoax.
Osanju’s death has been described as a huge loss by followers who admired his openness, resilience and positive outlook in the face of ill health.
However, Osanju had previously shared his battle with leukemia, a cancer of the blood, on his TikTok account, even eerily predicting his own demise on a couple of occasions.
