The decision to adopt the Manhyia Hospital Children’s Ward is not just a noble gesture but a call to action for all of us to unite and support this vital initiative. Indeed, it is with utmost humility that I stand here with you as you partner with the Manhyia Palace to execute the renovation and modernization of the Manhyia Hospital Children’s Ward and the procurement of baby incubators.”
Moreover, she noted that education should be another pillar that cannot be overlooked, and it is crucial for Asantes living abroad to impart their language and culture to their children.
