Accra, Dec. 14, GNA – A gospel singing duo, Suzy and Matt, on Tuesday donated a cheque for five million cedis to the Radiotherapy Centre, Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, in Accra.
The donation, which will be an annual affair, is to support the treatment of cancer patients and help in the general running of the centre. The money was generated from proceeds of a charity musical concert that they organised in Accra a few weeks ago.
Professor Augustine K. Kyere, National Project Co-ordinator, commended the singers for “supporting such a worthy cause”, saying it would help patients and the centre a lot. Prof. Kyere said “what is being charged at the centre is a fraction of the real cost of cancer treatment.
“Since the centre was launched by the First Lady, Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings, this is the first donation we have received,” he stated. Professor Wu Jing Jong, Consultant Radiotherapist, said the donation would save the lives of two patients and help treat five others. GNA
