Managing Director Murtfeldt Kunststoffe in Dortmund
“A hospital in Ghana that will be co-financed by the country’s wealthier patients in the future, so that poor people there can be treated free of charge. A truly solidarity-based approach that Dr. Okae is pursuing with the construction and future operation of the hospital. We at Murtfeldt support the path he has chosen, full of admiration for his courage and drive, and hope that our financial support will help him get a little closer to his dream.
Dr. Helmut Scherer Chief Technology Officer, Mitglied der Geschäftsleitung Erbe Elektromedizin GmbH
“The aim of this solidarity project is to give everyone in Ghana access to the healthcare system. One of our colleagues from sales told us about this great project and we realized that it is in line with our corporate philosophy. Because for us, people’s health is our main focus. With our products, our know-how and of course our social responsibility, we see ourselves as partners not only for the processes in operating rooms and clinics around the world, but also for supporting medical structures that are being set up.”
Julian Philipp Tintelnot Managing Director
Wilhelm Linnenbecker GmbH & Co. KG
“The hospital in Ghana – a project that gives hope and clearly shows what can be made possible with a good dose of courage, unshakable optimism, continuous perseverance and a team of motivated helpers.
To put it in Dr. Okae’s words: A journey of 1000 miles begins with the first step – it’s good that Dr. Okae dared to take the first step a few years ago! I am convinced that his journey will bring him and everyone involved to the planned goal! And we are happy to accompany him part of the way as far as we can.”
Christopher Lüling Financial Director BURG-WÄCHTER KG
“We have been enthusiastic about Dr. Samuel Okae’s hospital project from the very beginning. It is wonderful to see how much energy and perseverance he is putting into the project. That is why BURG-WÄCHTER is happy to support the project. We look forward to the hospital being inaugurated soon and thus being able to help the people of Ghana. I wish you continued strength and success in completing the hospital.”
Bernhard ter Hürne Managing Director ter Hürne GmbH & Co. KG
“We heard about the “Solidarity Hospital for Ghana” project through word of mouth; a member of management told us about it. From our point of view, it is simply a great project that immediately interested us. The combination of initiative, courage, entrepreneurial spirit, solidarity and long-term meaningfulness, brought together by Dr Okae’s personal commitment, inspires us. These are the same values that drive us in our company. And since Dr Okae and his family will personally lead the project on site, the sustainable benefit for the people in need will also be secured directly and in the long term.” – more

“It’s fantastic to see the power the guys are using on the construction site. The positive attitude is absolutely commendable. And Samuel, alias “The Doctor”, leads the project with such incredible determination – an absolute role model for me. From a European point of view there is still a lot of work to be done, but that simply doesn’t shake anyone there. You can learn a lot from this attitude. As Samuel always says: “If it doesn’t fit, it will be made to fit.”

“The hospital is located in an area known to be poor, but which for me turned out to be developing. The building is next to a beautiful settlement that is already inhabited and others are being built nearby, so the very rural impression will slowly be lost. The hospital itself is a very nice building from the outside. No other one in Ghana has made such a friendly impression on me. There is also still enough land around the hospital so that one could create a nice garden later. In the building I was impressed by the high-quality tiling of a few rooms. This kind of tiles is very rare in Ghana. The common rooms in the middle of each floor seem very friendly because of their big windows.
All in all, I had the impression that this architecture could do its part to help someone to get well again. I personally have had the experience where you come out of a hospital in Accra sick, although you went in healthy because everything is so overwhelming. Here I have exactly the opposite impression. They were very amused about my statement that this will be the most beautiful hospital in Ghana. Of course we have to continue working. The shell is in place, but the plastering of the walls, the floors, the tiles… will take time and money.”
In June 2021, we received a letter of recommendation from the Ghanaian Minister of Health, Mr. Kwaku Agyeman-Manu.
“The Ghanaian Ministry of Health would like to express its appreciation.
We support the construction of the “Hospital Ghana” because our goal is to improve healthcare so that medical care reaches everyone, especially our children.
We value the important role of non-profit organizations that bridge the gaps in our healthcare infrastructure and are grateful for every donation that helps to realize the “Hospital Ghana” project.”
