Mr Kporha, on his part, expressed gratitude for the honour and commended the traditional authorities and the people of Ketu South for the gesture.  

“As a young nurse, l am only dedicated to giving back to the communities voluntarily.” 

“My greatest gratitude goes to the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA) for recognising my contributions to humanity and the honor bestowed on me.” 

Mr Kporha has contributed to several humanitarian projects, which included the construction of a neonatal intensive care unit, provision of potable water for communities, and championing good sanitation practices in many areas.  

He also won the District Best Nurse and Midwife, and Volta Regional Best Nurse and Midwife wards for the year 2023.
