Pay It Forward: The West African Health Foundation




The West African Health Foundation is a non-profit, non-governmental organization formed by a group of physicians concerned with the poor health and nutritional status of the people, particularly children and women, of the West African sub-region. Founded in 2001, the primary mission of the foundation is to provide health and wellness education, have medical professionals render medical care, and donate much needed medication and medical supplies to the underserved.





Jemina and I had the pleasure of attending the WAHF 9th Annual Benefit Gala in March. The gala focused on gathering funds for the building of a Tertiary Care Center in Juaben, Ghana. The hospital, which is at the heart of the vision of the foundation, is a proposed 250- bed "green" facility.The gala also emphasized the previous projects WAHF has undertaken and their many volunteer opportunities.


 Through their tireless efforts, The West African Health Foundation has become a beacon of hope for a people that are in desperate need of aid and resources. Since it's inception over 10 years ago, they have provided services that have changed the lives of countless men, women, and children. Whether it's providing mosquito netting for beds in an attempt to decrease malaria infection, or offering breast cancer screening, WAHF is at the forefront of the ongoing battle to improve healthcare in Africa. From us at Ohemaas MD, we thank you.

  1. I would like to thank Ultimate Health Home for reversing my father's Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). My father’s ALS condition was fast deteriorating before he started on the ALS Herbal medicine treatment from Ultimate Health Home. He was on the treatment for just 6 months and we never thought my father will recover so soon. He has gained some weight in the past months and he is able to walk with no support. You can contact them at ultimatehealthhome@gmail.com
