Otumfuo Osei Tutu II founded the Heal KTAH campaign, which aims to raise $10 million to rebuild the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital.
His public campaign to raise this significant sum formally began on Sunday, October 15, 2023, at the Akwasidae festival.
The income mobilisation initiative intends to address the critical need for infrastructure renovations at Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, Ghana’s second-largest teaching hospital, which gets referrals from 12 of the country’s 16 districts.
