Not quite long ago, Mr. Solomon Ghansah secretary of the outgoing executives saw on the the Ghanaweb that a patient at the Breman Asikuma Hospital cannot afford to pay his medical bills so he was appealing for help. He brought the matter before the executives and they went to rescue of the patient by instructing the treasurer , Mr. Yaw Opare who happened to be in Ghana at that time to go pay the medical bill for that patient which your esteemed website profiled it.
