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.

President of the Ghana Bar Association, Efua Ghartey, has called on judges and lawyers to carry out their duties with humility, fairness, and a strong sense of responsibility.
She made the appeal during the Supreme Court at 150 celebration held at the University of Ghana, under the theme “Honouring the past, celebrating the present and defining the future.”
Addressing participants, she noted that those in the legal profession occupy positions of great power and influence, and must therefore remain humble in the discharge of their duties.
She urged both the bench and the bar to deliver justice without fear or ill will, stressing the need for fairness in handling cases.
Reflecting on the significance of the celebration, she explained that the year 1876 marks not only the establishment of the Supreme Court but also the beginning of formally trained lawyers in the Gold Coast.
The GBA President questioned what Ghana would be without the rule of law, which is upheld by judges and lawyers, adding that the country could descend into a system where only the strongest survive if justice is not properly administered.
She further encouraged legal practitioners to reflect on their responsibilities and remain committed to upholding the rule of law for the benefit of all citizens.
