Hisense Ghana donates H60 Ultrasound to Komfo Anokye, Tamale Teaching hospitals
Hisense Ghana has donated a state-of-the-art Hisense H60 Ultrasound Diagnostic System to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) in Kumasi and the Tamale Teaching Hospital (TTH) to strengthen medical care at the two major health facilities.
The gesture demonstrates the company’s commitment as a global technology leader transcending homes and reaching the critical sphere of public health.
The donation is strategically vital, recognising the essential role of diagnostic imaging.
Presenting it, the product ambassador, Nana Ama MacBrown, said in places like Ghana, where resources can be constrained, ultrasound was often the primary, non-invasive diagnostic tool for an estimated 70 per cent of initial obstetric and gynaecological assessments, and plays a crucial role in diagnosing conditions ranging from abdominal emergencies to cardiac issues.
She said equipping major teaching hospitals with advanced systems directly enhances patient outcomes and medical education.
She described the Hisense H60 as a proven reliable medical technology that will no doubt enhance operations at the two facilities.
“Globally, Hisense ultrasound products are utilised in over 20 premier Chinese hospitals, where they have successfully supported more than 50,000 complex diagnostic cases, earning unanimous clinical recognition from expert physicians.”
She said “The H60 system leverages advanced image processing and a user-friendly interface to deliver exceptional clarity, which is crucial for early and accurate diagnosis—a factor that can drastically improve patient prognosis in critical care, paediatrics, and emergency departments.”
The donation, she said, was not the first and would not be the last as Hisense recognises its corporate social responsibilities to its people.
In August 2020, Hisense Ghana donated two fully-equipped ambulances, valued at $90,000, to the Apinto Government Hospital and the Tarkwa Municipal Hospital.
In 2023, it made a substantial donation of an advanced ultrasound diagnostic system—valued at over $50,000—to the prestigious University of Ghana Medical Centre (UGMC), Legon, providing essential tools for the next generation of Ghanaian medical professionals.
Through this donation of the Hisense H60 Ultrasound, it assures the beneficiaries and partners of a successful and enduring collaboration aimed at delivering better health outcomes for the Ghanaian people.

Ahyiresu and Abofrem, two quiet communities in the Atwima Mponua District, have been shaken to the core by a chilling midnight drama that reads like a nightmare.
A pastor and a young mother stand accused of attempting to bury a five‑month‑old baby girl alive, a crime that has ignited outrage and disbelief across the township.
According to police, Apostle Richmond Akwasi Frimpong, 36, Head Pastor of the Anointed Grace Prayer Ministry at Kuffour Camp, conspired with his uncle Emmanuel Appiah, 53, and the child’s mother, 23‑year‑old Beatrice Agyapomaa, to dispose of the infant, Anaya Achiaa, under the cover of darkness.
A fourth suspect, Emmanuel Donkor, remains on the run.
The suspects were caught near a refuse dump around 10 pm on April 9, 2026, after a vigilant resident, Akwasi Twezor, noticed their suspicious movements.
When confronted, they claimed the child was already dead and had palace approval for burial. But Twezor’s instincts proved right—the baby was still alive, gasping faintly for breath.
Chief Linguist, Nana Yaw Badu, later confirmed that Frimpong had misled him earlier in the evening, securing permission for burial by falsely declaring the child dead.
The infant was rushed to the Abofrem Clinic, where she is now responding well to treatment. Police described her as “very beautiful.”
Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Evelyn Yitamkey, Commander of DOVVSU in Bibiani, confirmed that the suspects have been provisionally charged.
Frimpong faces attempted murder and conspiracy charges, while Agyapomaa and Appiah are charged with conspiracy and abetment.
They were remanded by the Bibiani Circuit Court, presided over by Judge Frank Asiedu Nimako, to assist investigations.
The docket has been forwarded to the Attorney General’s Department for advice, ASP Yitamkey indicated.
The attempted crime has provoked fury among residents, many suspecting ritual motives aimed at bolstering the pastor’s influence.
Crowds attempted to attack the suspects outside court, but police intervention prevented mob justice.
The Assembly Member for Ahyiresu, Yusuf Suleiman, has assured residents that justice will be pursued swiftly.

The forecourt of the African University of Communications and Business (AUCB) in Accra came alive on Friday with colour, creativity and innovation, as Level 300 students transformed the space into a lively exhibition of ideas.
Under the theme “Building meaningful brands beyond the logo,” the students invited patrons into a world where ordinary products were reimagined through storytelling, design and purpose.
From scented candles to innovative food concepts, each stand told a unique story, one that went beyond aesthetics to capture identity, value and human connection.
For many of the students, the event was more than just an academic exercise; it was a moment to dream out loud.
Guided by their lecturer, Peter Wonders, they explored what it truly means to build a brand in today’s competitive world where trust, consistency and experience matter just as much as logos and slogans.
Chairman of the occasion, Nana Kum Gyata VI, in his remarks said a brand is what people say about you when you are not present.
At the end of the presentations, awards were presented to deserving groups with Vida Nyaneba emerging as the overall best branding student.
