“We have supported about Fifty-four patients, so far in the management of those Fifty-four patients, we spent close to five million Ghana cedis. Every patient, averagely spent about eighty to ninety thousand,” he revealed.
According to Dr. Kipo, the conditions treated range from open heart surgery for children to various types of cancer, including breast and cervical cancer.
