• Okyeame Kwame
Multiple award winning musician, Kwame Nsiah-Apau, affectionately called Okyeame Kwame has advocated for the need to list Hepatitis on the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS).
According to him, if this is done it would enable more patients to access medication.
“It is my wish that NHIS will list Hepatitis treatment as well so that more patients can have access to medication,” he noted.
As part of the campaign, Okyeame Kwame Foundation in collaboration with MDS-Lancet will today, July 23, 2022 embark on Hepatitis campaign walk under the theme; ‘Bringing treatment closer to the patient.’
After the walk, there would be aerobics session coupled with Hepatitis B screening and vaccination to mark world Hepatitis Day which is observed on July 28.
The walk will commence at the Silver Star Towers at 6am today, through airport, aviation enclave, and return to Silver Star for other activities.
The Okyeame Kwame Foundation has been organising a nationwide free Hepatitis Screening and vaccination for about 12 years now.

Von Sinu releases debut single ‘Thank You’
Von Sinu, an upcoming gospel musician, has released her debut single titled ‘Thank You’ which is gaining popularity on the airwaves and streaming platforms.
‘Thank you’ seeks to appreciate God for his goodness and faithfulness in her life.
In an interview with The Spectator in Accra, Von, who is also a fashion designer said “looking back at my life and what God has told me about myself, I was grateful.
She said she had to record it and later sent it to a friend who has been very instrumental in her being a gospel singer.
She said though there were other songs written and recorded, she thought it was prudent to release ‘Thank you’ as the Bible urges believers to give thanks in Psalm 92:1-2: “It is good to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to Your name”
The song is available on all digital platforms including Youtube, Spotify, Apple music Deezer and Tidal.
