In November 2023, the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, launched the Heal Komfo Anokye Project to restore the 70-year-old Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) in the Ashanti Region.
The hospital, which had not been significantly renovated since its construction in 1954, was in critical condition, with outdated infrastructure and equipment jeopardizing the safety of staff and patients.
To modernize the facility and bring it up to global standards, Otumfuo appealed for donations from individuals and corporate organizations, aiming to raise US$10 million for the renovation.
