Accra (Gh) – 09 Jan 2007 – Ike Quartey, former World Boxing Association
(WBA) Welterweight Champion has commenced work on a multi-million cedi
hospital project situated at New Gbawe in Accra.
The Three storey multi-purpose project valued at 800,000 dollars will be
known as Ike Quartey’s Specialist Hospital.
Kwesi Bortie and Eddie Afful revealed this, when they took a group of
journalists in a brief tour of the project site.
According to Messrs Bortie and Afful, the project, which commenced three
months ago, is expected to end in August this year since all the necessary
materials are in place.
Speaking to the GNA Sports, Quartey said the project forms part of his
efforts to give something back to the society which has nurtured him to
his present state.
Quartey said the hospital will be furnished with modern equipment that
will give the people of the community and the general Ghanaian public
quality but affordable health care.
The boxer reiterated that the project will be completed in eight months
time after which it will commence full scale operation.
Quartey, however, pleaded with the appropriate authorities, especially the
Government and the Ministry of Health to grant him some tax exemptions on
the equipment he intends to import from the United States of America for
the project to fully equip the hospital and bring relief to the people of
the area.GRi…/
