Cassona wishes Ghana a happy 68Th Independence and congratulates the new Administration led by His Excellency, President John Mahama

We have a lot to celebrate this year. Once again, Ghana has proven its tradition of peaceful co-existence, respect for the will of the people, stability and a shining example (to the world entire) that democracy works by dids not by words.
My wife and I came to these shores three years ago to introduce Cassona as a healthcare solutions company. Our primary goal was, and continues to be, working with people who have dedicated themselves to this country and to help usher in our modern healthcare system, in a patriotic way; thus, nudging our country towards medical and healthcare independence.
Through our years here, which is little less than three years, I have realized that if we work together, Ghana can be the country with the best healthcare system in the African sub-Saharan region.

Cassona came into Ghana as a transplant from the United States. But I am a Ghanian by blood because my mother was born in Accra, Ghana. And she was the person that taught me the generous spirit of this country, which welcomes everyone with open arms. Since 2022, my commitment to our core goal has never wavered despite all the challenges. As a team, we have dedicated ourselves to creating sustainable healthcare solutions beginning with providing our healthcare professionals and facilities with access to the necessary and essential medical diagnostic equipment/tools and supporting it with affordable prices and payments plans.
Though it appears there are many peddlers in the market of healthcare tools, when we came to Ghana, I felt the urge to reform the fundamental issues that our continent has endured for decades: affordability of healthcare tools and services: while our populations are among the poorest, we Africans have paid the highest and disproportionate price for healthcare. The cost of importing healthcare tools is the highest, the cost of maintenance of existing equipment is also the highest, based on the peoples’ purchasing power across the world. In addition, we are also losing our best medical minds to foreign countries every day because they simply cannot bear looking at a non-working healthcare system with very limited availability of tools without the ability to do something about it.
The above all seem to be depressing facts, but I see a promising future because in my years living in Ghana as a returned son, I have witnessed Cassona work with like-minded partners to change the landscape of the healthcare industry every day, and that’s what keeps my team and I going; looking for better ways to make a difference in healthcare delivery and to bring in better affordable and modern medical tools to serve our clients every day.
Looking forward to this year, Cassona is about to open our new Operational Headquarters (OHQ) for the Sub-Saharan Africa Region in Accra (launch date is June 2025). The new location would house our administrative and sales offices. In addition, we are adding a fully equipped diagnostic center and a medical professional training center (with Application Specialists). To further support Ghana and the West Africa region, Cassona plans to offer hands-on training to doctors, radiologists and medical professionals on the use of modern healthcare tools. As a returned son who fought my way up the ladder in the United States, I hope to help the young people to acquire practical healthcare skillsets in our own country and to serve our motherland here at home.
As always, Cassona will continue to support the community. To our University Medical Schools, we would wish to offer free hands-on clinical training workshops to students on a regular basis to ensure that as many as possible would be able to participate. In addition, Cassona also has began to donate Science Laboratory equipment to middle schools to ensure our next generation would not fall behind in the Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (“STEM”) education.
As a private businessperson, I have no interest in politics. However, when I watched the joyful crowds dancing on the streets after the Ghana election, it gave me a lot of hope for the journey ahead of us. Let’s all join forces: private healthcare, public healthcare and private citizens. Together we will succeed.
The best is yet to come.
Happy Independence Day Ghana!
