The team making the presentation to staff of the hospital
Two philanthropists, Mrs Deborah Borketey-Tackie, Founder of Dynamic United Stars Africa Foundation (DUSAF) and Mrs Mary Ada Atayobor, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Vendajules Slay World, have donated GH¢13,294 to help settle medical bills of some patients at the Trauma and Orthopaedics Unit of Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital.
The gesture last Friday, according to them, formed part of their commitment to support the needy and they expressed thanks to God for His goodness and positive impact in their lives.
Speaking during the presentation, Mrs Mary Ada Atayobor stressed the importance of extending a helping hand to the sick with the “little we can afford,” indicating that the donation was a personal initiative which began about three years ago.
She said she was grateful to God for guidance and protection over the years hence the decision to collaborate with DUSAF which continued to reach out to the needy and the less privileged in society since its inception.
Mrs Deborah Borketey-Tackie, CEO of DUSAF, encouraged the general public and other benevolent organisations to support persons in different forms of distress or hardship.
Mr Joseph Kevelyn-Brocke, Public Relations Officer of DUSAF, commended Mrs Atayobor for collaborating with the organisation saying it was fulfilling to put smiles on the faces of patients being treated for various conditions.
Staff at the facility also thanked the donors and individuals who continued to make positive impact by providing support to the less privileged in diverse ways.

President John Dramani Mahama has arrived in Libreville, Gabon, to participate in the inaugural Libreville International Forum for Innovation and Development, a high-level event that brings together Heads of State, government officials, global investors, and technology experts.
The forum, being held under the patronage of Mr Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema, President of the Republic of Gabon, is on the theme “Political Stability, Business Climate, and Artificial Intelligence: Catalysts for Growth.”
The forum seeks to position Gabon as a regional innovation hub and key destination for international investment.
Organisers are holding the Forum to inaugurate the newly constructed Omar Bongo Ondimba Congress Centre, which also serves as the venue for the Forum and as a future centre for international dialogue.
The forum will culminate in the “Libreville Declaration,” which will showcase the strategic political leaders’ commitments to enhancing governance, transparency, and digital integration across the continent.
President Mahama remains a strong advocate for fostering partnerships that bridge the gap between government policy and private-sector growth to ensure inclusive development.
Former Energy Minister Boakye Agyarko has informed the New Patriotic Party’s 2028 flagbearer, Mahamudu Bawumia, of his decision to contest for the position of National Chairman of the party.
Mr. Agyarko disclosed this during a courtesy call on Dr. Bawumia on May Day.
According to a statement from his team, the visit gave him the opportunity to commend the former Vice President for his service to both the New Patriotic Party and the country.
During the meeting, Mr. Agyarko, together with members of his campaign team, formally notified Dr. Bawumia of his planned nationwide tour as part of his campaign for the National Chairman position.
He reaffirmed his support for the former Vice President and stressed the need for unity within the party ahead of the 2028 general elections.
Mr. Agyarko said the NPP must remain united and committed to securing victory in the next elections.
According to the statement, his nationwide tour is expected to begin in the Ashanti Region next week.
