Ghanaian businessman and philanthropist Alhaji Seidu Agongo has fulfilled a pledge of GH¢500,000 to the Ghana Medical Trust Fund, a move to support the country's growing dialysis needs.

Alhaji Agongo, who is also the founder and owner of Alive Industries, made the donation at the Ministry of Health in Accra, together with his management.

He described the initiative as "a programme that touches the very foundation of the Ghanaian people".

Dialysis treatment in Ghana has become a growing burden for patients, many of whom struggle to afford the high cost.
