The family of Charity Boateng, a Ghanaian woman suffering from end-stage kidney failure, has made a heartfelt appeal to the public for financial assistance to support her life-saving treatment.
According to her family, Charity is currently undergoing bi-weekly hemodialysis treatments at Banahene Specialist Hospital in Accra, but urgently requires a kidney transplant to survive. They are seeking both a matching donor and funds to cover the expensive medical procedures.
“Our sister Charity Boateng is battling with end-stage kidney failure and is in dire need of a life-saving transplant,” the family said in a statement.
A medical report signed by Dr. Dexter Nana Bannor Rampson, Resident Medical Officer at Banahene Specialist Hospital, confirms that Charity has been diagnosed with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and has been receiving dialysis since 2023.
The report estimates the cost of the kidney transplant, to be performed in India, including all medical and logistical expenses for both Charity and the donor, to be between $28,000 and $40,000 USD — approximately Ghc 392,000 to Ghc 560,000.
To help meet these costs, the family is urging the public to send contributions to the following Ecobank account:
Account Name: Emmanuel Adonteng Boateng
Account Number: 1441001520963
Charity’s family remains hopeful that with the support of generous donors, she will receive the transplant needed to restore her health.
