The Founder of the International Central Gospel Church (ICGC), Pastor Dr. Mensa Otabil, has described the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital as a battlefield and assured that his church will provide the necessary ammunition to help it succeed.
Pastor Otabil made these remarks when a delegation from the Hospital, led by the Board Chairman, Prof. Titus Beyuo, paid a courtesy call to express appreciation for the Church’s consistent support over the last sixteen years.
He acknowledged that working in the health sector is rewarding yet frustrating, emphasising that it is a tough environment that requires resilience, patience, and commitment to deliver quality healthcare to Ghanaians.
Pastor Otabil reiterated that ICGC’s sixteen-year support journey with Korle Bu is only the beginning of many more partnerships to be rolled out to ensure the delivery of seamless healthcare services, particularly in supporting paediatric oncology cases.
The Chief Executive Officer of the Hospital, Dr. Yakubu Seidu Adam, explained that the visit to the Church was to acknowledge and express profound gratitude for its support to over 2,000 patients. “It is only God who can adequately reward you and your members for this generosity over the years,” Dr. Adam concluded.
The Board Chairman of Korle Bu, Prof. Titus Beyuo, while thanking the Founder of ICGC, noted that the visit was an important step towards recognising and valuing the sixteen-year gesture.
