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, 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.
