The Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) has provided financial support to a 10-year-old girl, Regina Agyeiwaa, who is battling a Posterior Fossa Tumour at the Neurosurgery Unit of the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital.
On April 14, 2026, a team led by the Head of the Special Intervention Programme Unit, Mrs. Gloria Precious Ankomah, presented a donation of GHS 86,454.00 to support the young patient’s treatment.
The amount is expected to cover two critical surgical procedures required for Regina’s condition.
The intervention follows a formal appeal made to GoldBod by Regina’s uncle, Mr. Edward Kwasi Krupah, who indicated that the family was unable to raise the funds needed for the life-saving surgeries.
After conducting the necessary assessments, GoldBod approved the request and moved to provide full financial support.
Receiving the cheque on behalf of the family, Regina’s mother, Madam Grace Ahenkorah, expressed deep appreciation to the institution for the timely assistance.
She noted that despite reaching out to several sources for help, it was the intervention by GoldBod that ultimately brought hope.
Mr. Krupah also conveyed gratitude to the Board, stating that the family had nearly lost hope prior to the support.
Officials from Korle Bu Teaching Hospital who received the donation included Dr. Mawuli Ametepe, along with Chief Nursing Officer of the Surgery Department, Madam Felicia Ahiahonu, and the Department’s Matron, Madam Elsie Sandra Foli.
Speaking after the presentation, Dr. Ametepe thanked GoldBod for the gesture and explained that the patient requires two separate surgical procedures.
He expressed optimism that the support would ensure the child receives the care she urgently needs.
The donation forms part of GoldBod’s ongoing interventions under its Special Intervention Programme, through which the institution continues to support vulnerable individuals, particularly in the areas of healthcare and education.
Over time, GoldBod has provided assistance to several Ghanaians in need, reinforcing its commitment to social responsibility alongside its core mandate in the gold sector.
