Explanation and Appeal

Dear Fellow Brothers, Sisters and citizens of Ghana ,
My name is Solomon Adinortey Dogbe, a Ghanaian and a medical doctor living in Poland.
Over the past 18 years of my stay in this country, and more precisely in the past thirteen years, an individual started a Foundation from a very small begining , with almost nothing in that Foundation. The purpose of the foundation was to equip hospitals. As he started with lots of interviews and series of radio conferences, it won national interest. Today , they annually raise 21 (twenty one million dollars for equpping clinics and hospitals.) This has led Poland to the fastest in diagnosis and one of the best with well-equipped clinics in Europe.Comparisms were made with USA clinics ,one of which is particularly in haering impedness , that the heads of departments of Florida Medical School were invited for press conference in Poland to see the differences in the level of diagnosis. It came out that Poland stands 98% points in diagnosis whereas that of the USA 95% .It has attracted to such a high level of the public attention that Poland for that
matter has set aside second week of the begining of every year for nationwide fund raising day.Some give one dollar, others give as much as they could. Some sports men and women give out their medals for auction sales to generate funds for hospital equipments and this is done openly on air during the fund-raising festivities. TV stations , private and national, take full part in it, conscientising the people of the need and that , the day of soliciting funds has come .Companies give . Some give written pledges which they later fulfil.For thirteen years , this has been working .
I see this as something good to copy and try it in our nation Ghana.This is why I have initiated the Foundation " Give Ghana Help"

Objectives and Principles of the Foundation
§ 6
The Foundation was established to:
1. conduct comprehensive health activities to save lives, including the promotion and pursuit of initiatives as health, educational and charitable in Ghana;
2. equipping public hospitals nationwide to give health and material assistance to people who are in particularly difficult situations and whose health are endangered.
3. facilitating access to medical care.
4.Prevent diseases
5.Enhance public education on health issues

I need many people as possible to cooperate and assist put it on the media ( on air). I am only giving the idea.The aim is to help Ghana and its people. That one day, we may be somewhere high among the african countries.
Let us try it together and see.There is no harm in giving it a try.
I am appealing to all who in any way can assist. Especially those who in any way have access to the media.

One thing it needs be clear. If we as Ghanaians do not start initiating
these moves to assist the system, things may not go any good way that fast for
long.For the good of the nation and its people, let us try it.Assisting the system for the good of the nation , for the good of ghanaians , for the good of even the economy.When these
things work, neighbouring countries may be coming to Ghana for
treatment. There may be the tendency that people in the west may come
down for medical treatment because it is cheaper than in other countries.This will go its wayy to promote
ghana and tourism.One positive system will surely and positively affect the next system.When the health system goes better or stands better ,
it will go to affect other sectors.
Money collected are not for me.It is for the purpose of equipping clinics and hospitals. Starting step by step.Clinic by clinic.
Money gathered in Foundation cannot belong
to me.It must be open for the public to see what the money is being used for.
Foundation needs a clear moral stand that it cannot go that
way.
I hope I have made myself clear.
I want us to do something to help the nation.For it to succeed, it needs the support of many.
Citing as an example :

The Scandinavian countries which most people think is a haven for wealth, from 2003, every year, the Wrocław Medical School in Poland enrols 60 students from the four Scandinavian countries for English programme in medicine. Each student paying 8000(eight thousand Euro ) each year for tuition) , Not mentioning the rent they pay for the school as well as expenditure on other aspects of living costs they leave in the economy here.
The tuition fee , for these 60 annually enrolled Scadinavian medical students brings 448(four hundred and forty eight) thousand Euros for a single year .
Warsaw City runs English programmes in medicine from as far back early 1980s and students come to study medicine from the USA and they go back because they pay 10,000 -14,000 US dollars and not 24,000USD as the tuition for medicine costs in the USA.
There are other strong four cities or more which embark on this medical training for foreigners.
If Ghana embarks on simple step by step equpping of its clinics, by five years, things may change for Ghana, in a way that other african countries will be bringing their students to educate in Ghana medical Schools. When the equpiments are there, it will attract the masses.
Americans leave the USA to come for medical treatments in Dubai( Saudi Arabia).
It takes little drops of water to form an ocean.
I will have to end here.
If you can in any way assist to collectively make our nation a better place in terms of hospital facilities, I would be ready for suggestions and cooperation.At this stage , I need people that can help put the advert on the media.
I need someone also to assist in making an online payal terminal and possibly a very simple website to make donation accessible for the public that would have the good will.
