Kofi Job and his wife were accompanied by high-profile ministers of God. After interacting with the managements of the various hospitals, they visited selected wards to pray for patients before making physical cash donation for the payment of bills and the purchase of some hospital equipment on Wednesday, 22nd January 2025.
It would be recalled that Mr. Gyebi and his wife donated GH¢1 million to pay medical bills for patients at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) last year.
According to the couple, the donation is aimed at providing relief to patients and their families.
Mr. Gyebi and his wife pledged that the donation would not be a nine-day wonder, for they would continue to do it until their Maker calls them from this earth.

He said even though many people are wealthy, they are not willing to support the needy, but God has laid it upon him and his wife to help the poor, hence the setting up of Kofi Job Foundation to support the needy.

According to him, by the grace of God, he has made it in life and he has realised that, without Christ, everything is vanity.
He said it is appointed for every man to die once and after that there is judgment. He, therefore, used the opportunity to appeal to all Ghanaians, especially those who are well-to-do, to share their wealth with the needy in society since government alone cannot shoulder that responsibility.
