Access to healthcare is a central focus of our work. In Ghana, the healthcare system often operates under the principle known as “Cash and Go”: payment comes first, treatment follows. Those who cannot afford to pay receive no medical care or only inadequate treatment. What is hard to imagine for many is everyday reality here.
Our team has repeatedly witnessed situations in which even severely injured people in acute, life-threatening conditions were not treated. As a qualified pediatric nurse, Bettina Landgrafe could not accept this situation and decided to take action.
For more than 25 years, Madamfo Ghana has been committed to providing as many people as possible with access to qualified medical care. Even small, regular donations help make treatments and surgeries reliably and sustainably possible.
In addition, we improve local healthcare infrastructure through the construction of maternity wards, health centers, and hospitals. We also offer childbirth training for women and educational programs for expectant fathers on the development of the unborn child. This work is carried out by local nurses and midwives who speak the language and understand the cultural context of the communities they serve.

Year of the projects
Projects on the topic: Human health
Ewusiejoe – Expansion of the CHPS Compound

Dzilakorpe Clinic Project
The remote island community of Dzilakorpe had no medical infrastructure. Today, a newly built health center provides reliable and high-quality medical care on the island.
Clinic for Yaw Owusukrom
For most of the inhabitants, the approx. 5-6 km distance to the nearest clinic is hardly manageable, as they do not have private or public transport. Especially in case of illness, this is a very big problem.
Clinic for Praprababida
The nearest medical facility is about 15 km away. This is an unmanageable distance for pregnant women and small children, which is why they only go to the clinic when they are already seriously ill.
Coronavirus – Containing the spread together
The whole world is still in an unprecedented state of emergency. The disease COVID-19, which is caused by the corona virus, has claimed many lives and completely changed all our everyday lives.

Yamah Health Center
The ramshackle building of the region’s only health center is in danger of collapsing – and it is occupied by vampire bats.

Bonita Health Center
The Bonita Health Center was built in 2009 and consists of an emergency room with a pharmacy, a department for men, a department for women, the „RTL Wir helfen Kindern“ Foundation Hospital for Children, a department that focusses on prevention, disease control and birth control, as well as housing units for the nurses.
SURGERIES – MEDICAL TREATMENT – MEDICINES
