The Ghana Mission Foundation will be organising a fundraising campaign with the aim of raising €66,000 to equip the first outpatients department of the Maltese Health Centre in Ghana.

This department will treat patients infected with HIV and AIDS. A leaflet will be sent to every Maltese household giving people an idea of the lives Ghanaian villagers live and detailing a breakdown of the costs of the equipment needed for this first equipment phase of the project.

The 80-bed hospital in the city of Kumasi will specialise in eye-care, breast cancer, HIV, AIDS, malaria and facial malformation. The eye-care section will be named after the Maltese ophthalmologist Sir Luigi Preziosi.

The project will also serve as a teaching hospital for medical doctors in Ghana who wish to specialise.

The Ghana Mission Foundation was founded in 1998 with the aim of helping the Institute for World Evangelisation raise funds for one of its projects in Ghana – a project chosen by Pope John Paul II as one of his projects for the millennium.

Donations towards the project can be made as cheques or money orders addressed to the Ghana Mission Foundation. The Foundation offices are open from Monday to Friday between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. and are located at the Media Centre Complex, National Road, Blata l-Bajda.

One may also deposit donations in any one of the foundation’s bank accounts as follows BOV 11206046019 and HSBC 033-143819-050.
