"On behalf of Kokrokoo Foundation, Kokrokoo Charities; on behalf of the team - Dennis and everybody here - we present this incubator to the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital in the hope that it will save many more lives than we even envisage. And I'll make a promise that when we get more, we'll bring more."

Mr. Dennis Adutwum, Director of Programmes for Kokrokoo Charities Foundation also explained that the hospital was chosen based on emerging health issues facing it and so, was delighted over the donation to the hospital.
