Tullow Oil Ghana Limited provided the Association with GH?100,000.00, as seed money to start the project whilst Domod Roofing provided roofing sheets. Paa Kwesi Yankey, the Chairman of the UG Alumni Association, said mothers whose children happen to be on admission in the Hospital are often required to stay around, but unfortunately, there was no space available for them.

He commended the members of the Alumni Association, Mr Gibrine Adam, Managing Director of EPP Books, Tullow Oil Ghana, Ecobank Ghana Limited, Enterprise Group, PDMSD, Professor Ernest Aryeetey, Mr and Mrs (Dr) Samuel Kwofie, Mr Yaw Gyamfi of PSB Construction and Mr Felix Djanie of Mahogany lodge for their instrumental role leading to the realisation of the project.

Professor Ebenezer Oduro Owusu, the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ghana, who cut the ribbon to formally inaugurate the facility lauded the Alumni Association for their efforts made in ensuring that the facility was completed on schedule. He said all citadel of learning had their progressive development undertaken and sustained by their own products.

He called on members to strengthen the alumni networks in order to build closer collaboration with the university. Dr Joyce Norgbe, the Deputy Director of the UG Hospital, expressed her gratitude to the Alumni Association for the support given to the Hospital. In honour of his mother, Alumnus Gibrine Adam, CEO and Managing Director of EPP Books, donated GH?20.000.00 to the facility for one of the rooms to be named after his mother, Zainab Alewa.
