Kenyan businessman Julius Mwale, founder of Mwale Medical and Technology City (MMTC), has announced plans to build a multimillion-dollar medical city in Ghana.
The project, aimed at providing accessible healthcare and boosting medical tourism, was revealed following a meeting between Mwale and Ghanaian President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo at the UN General Assembly in New York.
The Ghanaian development follows similar agreements in Botswana, Congo, and Sierra Leone.
Mwale is the primary investor behind MMTC, a $2bn community-owned sustainable metropolis in Kenya, which has already expanded into 12 African countries.
By 2050, the company aims to establish 18 smart cities and uplift 800 million people throughout the continent.
Mwale initially accumulated his wealth by founding New York-based SBA Technologies Inc., which specializes in secure mobile commerce and banking platforms.
