About Us

About Us

Generational Health Foundation

At the height of the coronavirus pandemic, we launched the Generational Health Foundation – a medical and surgical services nonprofit organization based in Ghana.

We embarked on this journey when healthcare systems worldwide were under immense pressure, and access to medical and surgical care was limited, particularly in our rural and most vulnerable communities in Ghana.

Our mission is to provide a lifeline of hope for those most in need. We aim to offer 100 free surgeries annually to patients suffering from diseases such as goiter, hernia, uterine fibroids, superficial swellings, and other medical conditions that require surgical intervention as the only form of comprehensive treatment.

We have come a long way, but our journey has just begun. We hope that you continue to stand with us as we work toward building a healthier future for our community.
