Project Summary

ABOUT THE FOUNDER – KANKANKA HERBAL HOSPITAL

Kankanka Herbal Hospital (KHH) was founded by the highly esteemed Nana Aboagye Isaac

Larbi, who has won much appreciation and applause for his achievements in the fields of healing

with herbs and traditional medicine, as well as joining flesh to bones without surgery and

through the use of herbs and prayers.

Nana Aboagye, popularly known as "Kankanka,” is a popular traditional healer and herbalist.

Though he is based in Accra, he is recognized throughout Ghana for his classical herbal

treatments and healings of all kinds of illnesses and diseases. If Ghana is an ethnic museum, then

his hospital is the best example for his patients belonging to different religions, regions,

languages, castes, and creeds.

After losing his father at age 14 and his mother a year prior, Nana Aboagye discovered his

healing abilities just about at that same time. He discovered how to mix certain herbs to cure and

treat different ailments, as well as deep-cut wounds and accident victims on the brink of death.

As a young man, Nana Aboagye indulged in various business ventures, as with all young men, to

make life out of what he was into. None of his businesses yielded fruit but rather gave him more

problems. He was succeeding as a healer and herbalist but failing as a businessman. The most

difficult hurdle that came his way that challenged his special abilities was when he found himself

going dumb. Fortunately, he got the remedy to heal himself and others who came to him with the

same problem. He has since been able to cure deafness and dumbness.

While dealing with several challenges in his personal and professional life, Nana Aboagye got

the opportunity to treat and heal Ghana’s football legend and icon, Abedi Ayew Pele, of a leg

fracture for which he had sought solutions in so many places without success. This paved the

way for Kankanka Herbal Hospital to start operations in 2002 with five patients. In no time,

people from far and near heard about him and started visiting his hospital for their health

solutions.

Not only does he cure, treat, and heal with herbs and traditional medicine, Nana Aboagye also

adds prayers to his line of work. Having been a traditional healer for a little over four decades,

Nana Aboagye has healed, treated, and cured 100,000+ people from far and wide who learned

about him quickly and began visiting his facility for health remedies, including infertility, stroke,

3 3

diabetes, being deaf and dumb, the joining of a leg to its thigh naturally without surgery or the

insertion of metal into the leg, and many other ailments.

In Nana Aboagye’s own words, his goal "is to build a world-class herbal hospital in Ghana with

branches spread across Africa and Asia, as well as other parts of the world, to make a positive

difference in the field of herbal and traditional medication healing".

Nana Aboagye Isaac Larbi, who serves as the Chief (Krontihene) of Suhum-Omenaka and

Tufuhene of Larteh Traditional Area, with his stool name being Baffour Aboagye Larbi

Kankanka II, is married with four children: a son and three daughters. He is a Form Four

graduate from Omenaka L/A Middle School, Suhum, in the eastern region of Ghana.

KANKANKA HERBAL HOSPITAL has positively affected lives of thousands of people in the

globe in the areas of charity and saving lives, Many hospitals in Ghana especially in the herbal

world have limited work time and service delivery especially when their is unavailability of

funds to cover medicals which has led to the massive death of the less priviledged, but

KANKANKA HERBAL HOSPITAL has changed this orientation thereby giving hope to to the

hopeless and help to the helpless.

Despite all these selfless services, we have never run out of funds needed in running the day to

day activities of the hospital. We have maintained an average of 20 staff on yearly basis despite

the lack of facilities which has lead to the inability to reach out to everyone especially in the area

of rendering a comfortable health management environment and facilities. With all these efforts

KANKANKA HERBAL HOSPITAL has been up tp date with her certifications, licenses and

Taxes required in order to meet up with the governmental requirements and facility management

and implementations

5 5

In spite of the efforts of KANKANKA HERBAL HOSPITAL, there are still many unmet needs

in our establishment. With additional funding Kankanka Herbal Hospital will be able to expand

and improve its services to the communities and the world at large, including:

 Providing a standard Healthcare to the world

 Building of a standard and well equipped theatre

 The ability to take care of every health issue that is brought to the hospital

 Availability of all required facilities

 Expanding the blocks of the hospital thereby creating more wards

 Provision of an ultra-modern laboratory

 Provision of more ambulances

 Building of more branches(ANNEX)

 Completion of the ongoing Annex branch

 Provision of herbal/chemical (finished products) department

 Provision of a hygienic warehouse for storing of the herbal raw material

 Providing mobility and Secured Shelter for staff

 Improving the Psychosocial Well-Being of the patients and building a hygienic kitchen

 Improving the Nutritional Status and Food Security of the hospital

 Advanced advertisement of our hospital in order to reach to people from afar

 etc

We will implement each of these goals one by one depending on our funding. Currently we are

focusing on achieving these first set of goals thereby establishing a standard health care

environment through partnership with anyone, company ,organization, institution, firm or

existing health care establishment globally that may show interest in partnering with us.

moreover building a new health(herbal) clinic and laboratory and purchasing medical equipment

and supplies are the first tool behind success which covers majority of the needs of the

establishment.

Problem Statement and Proposed Response

Millions of people in the REPUBLIC OF GHANA live in the rural areas where health facilities

are inadequate, inaccessible, and unaffordable. KANKANKA HERBAL HOSPITAL has already

gotten an approval from the Ministry of Health to offer medical services to our clients through

material and technical advice. Our current dispensary is not large enough to meet the rising

demand for medical services in Ghana. We currently have a one-room theatre with store room

for preserving the surgical materials with few wards and few hospital beds, whereas we serve

over 120 people a day, over 10,000 patients a year but due to unavailability of facilities

especially wards, we are unable to admit most of patients. We are also faced with an insufficient

drug supply in the dispensary unit. In addition to funds to facilitate all-around management,

KANKANKA HERBAL HOSPITAL seeks funds to facilitate medical tests and to purchase

drugs. The dispensary also lacks a standard laboratory to facilitate medical investigation for

effective holistic clinical management.

In order to meet the rising demand for health services in Ghana, we propose to build a new

health clinic and laboratory and to purchase medical equipment and supplies.
