Brogya Foundation and RESTORE Worldwide Inc. transform lives with over 200 free reconstructive surgeries.

Two dedicated non-governmental organizations, Brogya Foundation and RESTORE Worldwide Inc., have partnered to provide life-changing reconstructive surgeries to more than 200 individuals at the Agogo Asante Akyem Presbyterian Hospital. This exceptional initiative aimed to restore hope and improve the quality of life for patients living with significant deformities.

The Brogya Foundation, established by the Dompiahene of Asante Akyem Agogo, Nana Bediako Brogya Sarpong, and RESTORE Worldwide Inc., founded by esteemed Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Obeng, are both committed to offering free medical care. Their focus is on reconstructive surgeries for both children and adults who suffer from severe physical deformities, whether from congenital conditions, trauma or burns.

Over the course of a week, Dr. Michael Obeng led a global team of volunteers from the RESTORE Foundation, performing intricate reconstructive procedures on patients, including children. These surgeries not only address physical deformities but also help patients regain their confidence and sense of normalcy.

Speaking at a mini-durbar prior to the surgeries, Nana Bediako Brogya Sarpong expressed his hope that this initiative would have a lasting impact. “These surgeries are about more than physical healing; they are about restoring dignity and providing a brighter future for those who have long faced the challenges of visible deformities,” he stated.

Dr. Paa-Ekow Hoyte Williams, Director of Medical Affairs at RESTORE Worldwide Foundation, emphasized the significance of this mission. He described the initiative as a “tremendous relief,” noting the prohibitive cost of reconstructive surgeries that often makes them inaccessible to many in need. By eliminating this financial barrier, the Brogya Foundation and RESTORE Worldwide are transforming lives and providing essential medical services where they are needed most.
