Former German international footballer Gerald Asamoah has once again demonstrated his commitment to Ghana by bringing a team of 40 top surgeons to perform free heart surgeries for Ghanaian children with congenital heart conditions.

Organized under the Gerald Asamoah Foundation, this annual program provides critical medical care for children suffering from 'hole-in-heart' conditions, offering life-saving surgeries at no cost.

The surgeons, who arrived at Kotoka International Airport, will spend several days in Ghana performing procedures on selected young patients before returning to Germany.

They expressed their excitement and gratitude for the opportunity to positively impact the lives of Ghanaian children in need.

Asamoah, who was born in Ghana, spent much of his professional career in Germany, playing for clubs like Schalke 04, Hannover 96, and Greuther Fürth.

He represented Germany on the international stage but has always maintained a close connection with his Ghanaian roots.

Through his foundation, Asamoah seeks to leverage his influence and resources to enhance healthcare access for underserved communities in Ghana.

In addition to his philanthropy, Asamoah is recognized for his humanitarian work globally; in 2016, he accepted the FIFA Fair Play award on behalf of organizations supporting refugees at the FIFA Ballon d’Or Gala.

Asamoah’s career in football, combined with his passion for community welfare, continues to leave a lasting impact, both in Germany and in Ghana.
