MOH WELCOMES OPERATIONWALK SYRACUSE TEAM TO GHANA TO OFFER FREE HIP AND KNEE SURGERIES

-

 


The Ministry of Health this morning warmly received the Operation Walk Syracuse team from New York, USA, marking the start of another impactful humanitarian mission to deliver free joint replacement surgeries to Ghanaians in need.


The delegation, comprising orthopedic surgeons, nurses, anesthesiologists, physiotherapists, and volunteers, will work with local health professionals at St. Joseph’s Hospital, Koforidua, to provide life-changing hip and knee replacement surgeries—restoring mobility and hope to patients who otherwise have limited access to specialist care.


Welcoming the group on behalf of the Hon. Minister for Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, the Director of Allied Health and Lead for Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs), Dr. Ignatius Awinibuno, expressed appreciation to the team for their continued partnership and commitment to improving health outcomes in Ghana.


“Your intervention aligns perfectly with Ghana’s national health policy which seeks to ensure that primary healthcare is accessible to all, with additional support for specialist care through initiatives like MahamaCares,” Dr. Awinibuno said.


He assured the visiting team of the Ministry’s full support to ensure the mission’s success and encouraged them to take time to experience Ghana’s rich culture and hospitality.


Also present to welcome the team were Mr. Tony Goodman, Spokesperson to the Health Minister and Head of the Health Training Institutions Unit, and officials from St. Joseph’s Hospital, the local host facility.


Speaking on behalf of the visiting team, Kim Murray, Executive Director of Operation Walk Syracuse, said:


“We’ve seen how transformative joint replacement surgery is in restoring mobility and dignity. Here in Ghana, so many live with pain simply because they lack access to such care. That’s why we’re here—and why Ghana holds such a special place in our hearts.”


Over the next ten days, the Operation Walk Syracuse team aims to perform about 100 hip and knee replacement surgeries, in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Ghanaian medical professionals.

MTN’s clear disinterest in addressing the loopholes within its mobile money system - Yaw Ntim Afriyie speaks Out  Yaw Ntim Afrifa, a Brand Strategist and lead of Euphrate Agency and Oxcode.io on his Facebook page speak on MTN  MobileMoney Limited (MoMo), the operating service, which has refuted allegations of a system breach of a viral social media complaint from a customer who claimed GH¢11,000 was withdrawn from her mobile wallet without her consent. Sometime back, when the Government of Ghana was pressing MTN Ghana in an attempt to minimize its enormous market share, I didn’t understand. My position was: why would you make a business suffer for its product and marketing brilliance? I guess now I do understand. MTN’s clear disinterest in addressing the loopholes within its mobile money system stems from one primary fact — it doesn’t hurt their numbers. MTN controls some crazy market elasticity, where even in the face of a full-blown scandal, the company still retains a massi...

We Must RESET Our Music Industry

We Must RESET Our Music Industry  C.E.O of Speech Production Mr. Enock Agyepong writes Music is more addictive than any drug. The more you ignore it, the more it follows you just like your shadow. Simply put, people will never stop loving music, and as a result, there will always be individuals willing to invest in it. However, many who have invested in music over the years have seen no returns because the industry lacks proper structures and security for investors. Many have been bruised and have no intention of ever returning to this industry. Some have been defamed and disrespected by the very brands they supported. Others have abandoned music entirely and some have resorted to dog farming whiles others are selling phones. Yet, instead of fixing the mess, we seem more interested in exploiting the “broken system." In football, managers cannot simply steal players from another team without facing severe consequences. When a foreign club buys a local player, his former team someti...
