The Heal Komfo Anokye project being embarked on by Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has attracted lots of interest from prominent personalities in the country who have contributed to the funding of the project.

Actress and media personality, Nana Ama McBrown has promised to liaise with the companies she is associated with for them to contribute financially to the project to fix the problems at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH).

She emphasized the need for the publicity about the project to be intensified for others to hear about it and come on board to aid the initiative.

Speaking at the Heal Komfo Anokye project ceremony led by the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II in Kumasi, Nana Ama McBrown indicated that she would collaborate with the publicity committee to let the public know about the project and use her media platforms to help as well.

“I work with companies. I have the belief that if I engage them, they will come and contribute. Each one of us will speak with companies we are working with to contribute their quota to this project,” she said at the event.

Speaking on how to enhance the publicity about the project, she said, “We [Kumawood stars] would collaborate with the committee to give the necessary publicity to this project be it TV commercials or door-to-door. If we intensify the publicity about this project, it will help to get more people on board.”
