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.

The Minister for the Interior, Muntaka Mohammed Mubarak, has accepted an apology from the Minority leader in Parliament following allegations of corruption in the recruitment process of the security services.
Speaking in Parliament yesterday, he indicated that the accusations were painful because they portrayed his actions in a way that suggested criminal wrongdoing.
“It is painful to be wrongly accused or for your actions to be misconstrued and labelled differently from your intention, especially when it is linked with criminality and serious wrongdoing,” he stated.
Mr Mubarak noted that although he was deeply hurt and worried by the allegations, he had decided to accept the apology wholeheartedly.
According to him, the issue should guide members of the House and public officials to focus on ensuring that the right things are done without attempting to destroy one another.
He assured the Minority that the Interior Ministry and the various security service commanders remain committed to transparency and accountability in their work.
The Minister added that the ministry would be ready to address any concerns raised by the Minority or other members of Parliament regarding recruitment into the security services.
He further appealed to the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, to consider expunging from the parliamentary records the false comments.
Mr Mubarak expressed appreciation to the Speaker for handling the matter and emphasised the need for cooperation among members of Parliament to ensure fairness and proper oversight.
