Restore Worldwide International and the Brogya Foundation, under the patronage of the Dompiahene of the Agogo Traditional Area, Nana Bediako Brogya Sarpong, held their inaugural fundraising event under the theme: “A Humanitarian Mission Towards Reconstructive Surgery in Ghana” at the Marriot Hotel in Accra.
The event, which was held at the Marriott Hotel is aimed at raising funds to provide free reconstructive surgeries to children and adults suffering from various deformities in Asante Akyem Agogo Municipality of the Ashanti Region and for others across Ghana who can make it to the Agogo Presbyterian Hospital and other collaborating Hospitals in Agogo that have started undertaking pre-screening activities to prepare for the surgeries.
The surgeries are scheduled to take place from November 1st to 11th, led by Dr Michael Obeng, a Harvard-trained plastic surgeon and founder of MIKO Plastic Surgery. Dr Obeng, along with his Restore Foundation for Reconstructive Surgery and a global team of volunteers, will conduct the procedures.
The surgical team is expected to perform over 300 surgeries, valued at approximately $8 million, at no cost to the patients. This initiative seeks to bring hope and restore smiles to individuals who would otherwise be unable to afford such procedures.
In his speech, Nana Bediako Brogya Sarpong, Dompiahene of Agogo Asante Akyem Traditional Area, expressed gratitude for the donations received, highlighting the profound impact they will have on countless lives. He acknowledged the challenges involved but reaffirmed his commitment to ensuring the success of this humanitarian mission.
