Obuasi Beverages CEO donates GH¢120,000 towards 33-year-old man’s brain surgery

Obuasi Beverages Company CEO, Dr Amo Collins, has extended a generous donation of GH¢120,000 (US$10,000) to aid the emergency brain surgery of 33-year-old Edmond Benefo, who has been diagnosed with a brain tumour. This contribution covers half of the required US$20,000 for Edmond's medical treatment and surgery in India. Edmond's health issues reportedly started with eye problems that gradually worsened, leading to medical examinations that uncovered the brain tumour necessitating immediate surgical intervention.

Edmond's parents, Aron Benefoh and Christiana Graham, have been in search of financial aid to fund the specialized treatment. Dr Collins' donation is anticipated to alleviate some of the financial burden on the family as they strive to raise the remaining US$10,000 needed. The family is currently appealing for additional support to cover the outstanding cost of treatment and ensure Edmond receives the necessary medical care in India.
