I am proud of my wife’s KATH initiative – Nana Akufo-Addo

According to the President, he was very proud of his wife for spearheading the initiative to support maternal health in the country and asked Ghanaians to support her cause.

In a tweet on Twitter, the president wrote: “I am proud of what @rakufoaddo is doing to assist Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital. Let us all support her to #SaveAChildSaveAMother.”

The First Lady also replied her hubby in a PDA (Public Display of Affection) style, pledging to help him achieve his campaign promises.
“Thank you my Monsieur @NAkufoAddo. It’s the least I can do to bring about the change we promised. #SaveAChildSaveAMother”

Mrs Akufo-Addo on Sunday joined the Asantehene, Lady Julia, Second Lady Samira Bawumia, KATH officials and other prominent people in the region at a fundraising ceremony in Kumasi following a similar event in Accra.
