During the presentation, the International Director of Operations of the Duamenefa Foundation, Rev Diane Westcott noted that the Executive President of the Duamenefa Foundation who doubles as the CEO of Fafaa Fm, Mr. Emmanuel Ketaman Evortepe and his first cousin, Dr. David Kotei Nutakor of California, USA were birthed at the Keta Hospital hence their love and thought to reach out to the hospital and make it one of the very best in the Volta Region of Ghana.

She added that, Dr. Nutakor adopted the children’s ward in memory of his late parents, Leonard Besa Gbede Nutakor and Sabina Atsemuyo Evortepe, and the Foundation also adopted the male ward which they both want to help see improvements.

Duamenefa Foundation following suit, also donated 32” televisions with satellite links to every room in the male ward, in addition several touch-free hand sanitizer dispensers, bottles of sanitizer, hand cloths and electronic hand dryers to help fight the COVID-19 disease.
