After helping a renal sufferer, the Fifty 50 Club was lauded for their effective treatments.

A non-profit organization with its headquarters in Obuasi has received praise for its human-centered contributions.

Over the course of its four and a half years since its founding in July 2020, the Fifty 50 Club has made a number of donations, including helping to cover the cost of surgeries and/or medical treatments for children and other people with various heart and medical conditions, supplying medical equipment and supplies to community clinics, offering scholarships to talented but underprivileged students, and helping numerous artisans launch their businesses.

As part of their health activities, the club provided Emmanuel Mensah, a 26-year-old kidney sufferer, with a lifeline in their fourteenth donation.

To help with the final treatment of his kidney illness, they contributed GH¢10,000 to a GoFundMe page. Additionally, the club gave 9-year-old Sarah Gyasi GH¢4,500 so she could get a prosthetic leg.

Renal problems have been one of the country's top causes of death, according to Club member Dr. Kwadwo Anim of the AngloGold Ashanti Health Foundation.

According to statistics, chronic kidney disease affects approximately 14% of Ghana's population of over 30 million people. Researchers estimate that between 15,000 and 19,500 of the more than 4.3 million people should be receiving dialysis.

However, because patients need between GH₵400 and GH₵1000 for three dialysis treatments per week, treatment is not inexpensive.

When regular medicine and other medical services are not included, the cost of dialysis is a small portion of the costs. While praising the Fifty Club for their assistance, Dr. Anim urged cooperation to ensure that kidney disease treatment is within everyone's means.

In order to prevent kidney illness, he also counselled the public to lead healthy lives.

The Fifty 50 club also supported the Kyekyewere-Dadwene community health center with some medical equipment and supplies worth GH¢34,810. The items included, 1 Delivery Bed, 1 Dressing Bed, 1 Drip Stand, 1 Nebulizing Machine, 1 Oxygen Cylinder with Flowmeter, 2 BP Apparatus, 2 Forceps, 2 Weighing Scales, 2 Thermometers, among others.

Eric Atuahene Agyeman, the Adansi North District Health Director, accepted the products and praised the club for helping them at this critical period when the institution is struggling due to a lack of some essential medical supplies.

He claimed that because to the constantly expanding population, the health centre has always had an overabundance of OPD attendance.

He urged other non-governmental organizations to help the institution. Additionally, the Club gave five craftsmen in and around the Obuasi neighbourhood GH¢ 9,350 worth of tools and equipment.

Three (3) dryers, 3 hand dryers and 3 washing basins were given to 3 Hairdressers whiles 2 sewing machines and 2 pressing irons to 2 Seamstresses.

It is anticipated that the grant will give the craftspeople the tools they need to launch their own companies and generate a consistent income. According to club member Eric Broni, the organization has made the decision to continuously provide tools and equipment to craftsmen who have finished their apprenticeship because it values the development of human capital.

On the rationale behind the donations, the President and Founder of the Club, Jacob Edmund-Acquah said they were motivated by the objective of the group to impact lives together.

He said they identify some key challenges in the society and contribute to resolve them.

Donations at the event came to GH¢ 61,000 in total. Mr. Edmund-Acquah expressed gratitude to the group members for their kindness and ongoing assistance. Additionally, he urged people and businesses to think about becoming members of the club and/or contributing to its operations.
