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.

The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has taken note of public allegations of extortion and related conduct made against the Minority Leader of Parliament, Alexander Afenyo-Markin.
The allegations were made by the Chief Executive of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), Sammy Gyamfi.
In a brief statement, the OSP said it has also received a joint petition submitted by two persons, as well as two separate petitions from other persons, in relation to the same allegations.
“Given the nature of the allegations, the OSP will assess the case and determine whether it falls within its statutory mandate and whether further investigative action is warranted,” the statement said.
The development comes amid a heated public feud between the Minority in Parliament and the leadership of GoldBod over the operations of the Domestic Gold Purchase Programme.
The Minority, led by Afenyo-Markin, has accused GoldBod and the Bank of Ghana of causing a loss of over $1.7 billion, citing the International Monetary Fund’s August 2026 report. The Minority has vowed to pursue the matter as Parliament has reconvened for an emergency sitting.
GoldBod, on the other hand, has rejected claims by some NPP MPs, including Tano South MP Dr Gideon Boako, that it owes the Bank of Ghana GH¢1 billion in overdrafts, describing the claim as “false and malicious.”
In the latest twist, GoldBod CEO Sammy Gyamfi has accused the Minority Leader of extortion and related conduct, an allegation that has triggered petitions to the OSP.
The OSP is mandated under Act 959 to investigate and prosecute specific cases of alleged or suspected corruption and corruption-related offences involving public officers and politically exposed persons.

General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Kodua Frimpong, has filed his nomination to contest the position of General Secretary again as the party begins its rebuilding efforts ahead of the 2028 general elections.
He was accompanied by party stalwarts and supporters who were in high spirits, expressing confidence that he is the right person to hold the position.
Speaking after filing his nomination, Mr Kodua Frimpong assured the rank and file of the party that he would not disappoint them.
“I can assure you that the faith the rank and file of the party have had in me, I will never disappoint them,” he said.
He also pledged to run a clean campaign devoid of personal attacks.
“I can assure you that our internal campaign will be devoid of personal attacks,” he told his fellow contestants and the rank and file of the party as he seeks to retain his position.
His tenure has seen the party through the 2024 general elections, where the NPP lost power to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) after eight years in government.
The party is currently in a rebuilding phase, with internal elections scheduled to elect new national executives to lead its reorganization towards the 2028 polls.
The General Secretary position is considered one of the most influential in the party’s administrative structure, responsible for the day-to-day running of the party secretariat and implementation of party decisions.
