Osei Boateng is a studying for a Master's Degree in Business Creation, but has already founded and serves as Executive Director of OKB Hope Foundation, an organization dedicated to provide access to quality and affordability healthcare to Ghanaians, regardless of their socioeconomic condition.
His organization provides clinical care and medicine for those suffering from life-threatening illnesses such as hypertension and diabetes, using Hope Health vans to provide access to care."I started this foundation because I experienced healthcare disparities where a lot of my community members had to travel several miles for healthcare, with no guarantee of getting seen by a healthcare provider. I lost both my auntie and grandmother to this healthcare inefficiency," said Boateng.
OKB also helps Ghanaians with malaria prevention by providing drinkable water and essential hospital supplies and treatments. To empower communities, they educate underserved populations to be advocates for their own healthcare. In addition to direct clinical work, OKB works with health institutions on research and development, and offer counseling services and education on mental health."Every time we delay in getting healthcare to these individuals, a mother, a father, a son, a daughter pays with their lives."
