The Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) Cardiology Centre is on track for completion by August, according to the Medical Trust Fund, marking a significant milestone for Ghana's healthcare sector.

Once operational, the centre is expected to expand access to specialised cardiac care for patients in the Ashanti Region and across the country. It will reduce the need for many Ghanaians to travel abroad for heart-related treatment, helping to ease the financial burden on families while improving access to life-saving services.

The Medical Trust Fund says work on the facility is progressing as planned, reinforcing its commitment to strengthening Ghana's healthcare infrastructure. The project is widely seen as a major investment in the country's capacity to diagnose and treat cardiovascular diseases locally.

While many Ghanaians remain optimistic, others are cautiously awaiting the project's completion, given the history of delays associated with some public infrastructure projects. If the August deadline is achieved, the KATH Cardiology Centre will represent a major step forward in improving specialist healthcare delivery in Ghana.

Do you think the project will be completed on schedule, and what impact do you expect it to have on healthcare in Ghana? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Ghanaian Fashion Designer, Sadia Sanusi Passes Away

 




Ghana's fashion community woke up to devastating news this week. Sadia Sanusi, the celebrated designer behind Sadia Sanusi Kente, reportedly passed away in her sleep on June 14, 2026. She was in her early thirties — at the peak of her career, with a decade of breathtaking work behind her and an entire masterclass ahead of her.

What made Sadia special was her deep reverence for Ghanaian heritage. She didn't just sew clothes — she told stories. Through Kente fabric, she connected tradition to the modern world, dressing brides, celebrities, and dignitaries in pieces that carried the weight of culture and the elegance of contemporary design.

The outpouring of grief on social media has been overwhelming, with colleagues and fans still struggling to process the news. Ghana has now lost two major fashion designers in recent years — Poqua Poqu in 2024, and now Sadia. The question on everyone's lips is: are we taking care of our creatives?

Fan Bingbing’s 74-Year-Old Dad Goes Viral for His Youthful Looks in Rare Family Photo

While many celebrities took to social media to honor their fathers on June 15 for Father’s Day, Chinese screen icon Fan Bingbing stood out with a rare and touching glimpse into her personal life.

The 43-year-old actress shared two heartfelt photos on Weibo, delighting fans with a moment of family intimacy. One image showed her smiling beside her parents, and the other captured her father joyfully blowing out a candle on his birthday cake.

In her caption, Fan wrote:
“Happy Father's Day! Wishing all the dads out there a joyful celebration! To the best dad and my greatest source of strength!”

But what truly set social media abuzz was the appearance of her father, Fan Tao, who looks remarkably youthful for his age—a vibrant 74 years old.

Fans were quick to flood the comment section with praise and disbelief. Some even confused him for Fan's 25-year-old younger brother, Fan Chengcheng, a popular actor and singer in his own right. One fan exclaimed, “Are you sure that’s not her brother?” while another wrote, “Her dad is aging in reverse!”

Fan Bingbing’s father, Fan Tao, was once a pop singer, regularly performing in regional competitions. Her mother, Zhang Chuanmei, now 70, was a dancer and actress, which perhaps explains the family’s artistic flair and graceful aging.

This rare family appearance offered fans not only a sweet tribute for Father's Day but also a surprising reminder that good genes clearly run in the Fan family.
