The Edward Osei Boakye Trust has upgraded the Legoe Physio and Wellness Centre to serve the Mamprobi community and surrounding areas better. This initiative aligns with the Trust’s commitment to improving healthcare accessibility for underserved populations.
The refurbished facility is now equipped with advanced physiotherapy tools, including ultrasound therapy machines, electrotherapy devices, therapy balls, and dumbbells. These resources will enable the centre to provide high-quality physiotherapy services at affordable rates, particularly for those who would otherwise struggle to access such care.
Investment in Community Well-being
This transformation was made possible through a GH¢200,000 investment by the Edward Osei Boakye Trust. The funding reflects the Trust’s mission to support individuals and communities facing social and physical challenges across Ghana.
During the official handover ceremony, Gerard Osei Boakye, Executive Secretary of the Edward Osei Boakye Trust, underscored the significance of prioritizing elderly care. He stated, “A nation or community that neglects its elderly is failing its people.”
He further emphasized that the Trust, established according to the wishes of the late Edward Osei Boakye, is dedicated to channeling resources from his estate into healthcare, education, and various social initiatives. Over the years, the Trust has supported multiple healthcare facilities, including contributions during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the past year alone, substantial assistance was extended to government health centers to alleviate the strain on public healthcare services.
A Brighter Future for Physiotherapy Services
Expressing gratitude for the Trust’s intervention, Prof. Jonathan Quartey, CEO of the Legoe Physio and Wellness Centre, highlighted the crucial role physiotherapy plays in enhancing the quality of life for individuals, especially the elderly. He emphasized the need for greater accessibility to physiotherapy services nationwide, as financial and geographic barriers often prevent people from receiving necessary treatments.
With this refurbishment, the centre is now better positioned to provide essential mobility and pain management treatments to the community, ensuring improved healthcare support for the ageing population in Mamprobi and beyond.
The Edward Osei Boakye Trust remains dedicated to empowering communities through strategic investments in healthcare, education, and social development, continuing the remarkable legacy of its founder.
