IHDN Mission Activities

Dear Supporters,
Thank you for your continued support of the IHDN ministry in the U.S and Ghana.
IHDN turned 18 years this June 2026. During our recent 13th Annual “Bringing the World Together “ Fundraiser Banquet held on Friday, June 5, 2026. We shared about the power of one and how partnership is the glue that holds our community together. We looked back with fondness at some of the milestones that we’ve covered and indeed, we’ve accomplished a great deal because of your consistent support. We would like to thank our volunteers, the contributors who attended the event as well as those who could not make it but prayed for the success of the program. We had over 250 attendees represented from all over the world, gathered to enjoy a time of sharing and celebration.

One month later, IHDN hosted the 17th Continuing Professional Development (CPD) lecture on Wednesday, July 8, 2026, via Zoom. Over 200 participants from the U.S and Ghana were engaged in meaningful discussions and shared knowledge and experiences with the goal of providing excellence medical care to patients here and abroad.

Meanwhile, in Ghana, the hospital continues to make strides, often under difficult circumstances and delayed reimbursements from the government for patient care by the small but mighty number of staff of the hospital.
Dr. Henry Kpeli and other medical doctors continue to provide continued medical education and training for the staff on campus and via social media.
On Thursday, June 9, 2026, The E.P.Church International Mission Hospital biostatistics unit organized a fire hydrant demonstration and training session to equip some staff with essential fire safety knowledge and practical emergency response skills.

Ordinarily, at this time next Thursday, July 23rd, we will have been scheduled to undertake our 38th Mission trip to Ghana. Instead, we are planning a trip to Ghana in October during Breast Cancer Awareness month. This will allow a team of surgeons from the U.S and Ghana to work together to save lives.
Please keep our team of surgeons, residents and volunteer staff from accross the U.S and Springfield as we prepare for this trip. We look forward to joining hands together to make a difference in the lives of many.
May the good Lord continue to use you all as a source of blessing to many.
