Former German international and football legend Gerald Asamoah has once again organized his annual mission to Ghana, bringing 40 top surgeons to perform life-changing heart surgeries for children suffering from hole-in-heart conditions. Through his foundation, Asamoah ensures that these children receive the care they need, giving back to the nation where he was born.

This philanthropic initiative, led by the Gerald Asamoah Foundation, has become an annual tradition. The visiting medical team, welcomed with gratitude and enthusiasm at Kotoka International Airport, will spend several days in Ghana performing surgeries before returning to Germany. For these specialists, it is a unique chance to make a meaningful impact on the health and future of Ghanaian children.

Although Asamoah represented Germany during his football career, playing for clubs like Schalke and FC St. Pauli, he has continually demonstrated a commitment to supporting Ghana. In 2016, he accepted the FIFA Fair Play award on behalf of all football organizations aiding refugees, underscoring his dedication to community welfare. Now retired from his playing career, which saw him excel with clubs like Hannover, Greuther Fürth, and Schalke 04, Asamoah’s legacy extends beyond the field as he leverages his influence to transform lives in Ghana.
