DR. OSEI Konadu Brown, a physiotherapist and CEO of Holy Covenant Health Centre was recently honoured at the Pan-African Republic Honorary Awards as a sickle cell ambassador in Ghana.
The event, which came off at the Accra International Conference Centre recognised Dr Brown who is also founder of Blood and Genotype Foundation (BGAF-G), and other national figures selected across the country.
It was organised by the Confederation of Governance Assessment Institute (COGAI) in partnership with the Bureau of Research on Governance, Commerce and Administration (BORGA) and the selection committee of the Pan African Republic Honorary Awards.
Dr. Brown expressed appreciation to the organizers for recognizing his efforts.
As a philanthropist who is determined to eradicate sickle cell by 2030, Dr Brown explained that the sickle cell chain could be eradicated completely when marriage counselors encouraged would-be marriage partners to take blood group compatibility tests.
He therefore appealed to civil society organizations, non-governmental organizations and the government to assist the foundation in all endeavours to carry out its mandate.
Dr Brown was also recognised for adopting a holistic health approach with expert in-depth therapeutic massages and exercises in the treatment of his patients.
He also extends his philanthropic work to the private and public institutions, residences, footballers, boxers, and religious institutions, among others.
He has received both local and international recognitions as a practitioner and won other awards which include Best Founder of the year award in 2018 and Best Campaigner for Championing sickle cell in Ghana, 2017.
