A Step Towards Better Mobility: Elizabeth Quakye’s Story.
A Save Africa Foundation Patient Story | 2026 Medical Outreach

When Elizabeth Quakye heard through social media that Save Africa Foundation would be conducting a medical outreach at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Hospital in Assin Foso in September 2026, she saw an opportunity to seek help for the knee pain that had been affecting her mobility.
Living with arthritis in both knees, Elizabeth had been experiencing difficulty walking. She came to the Foundation’s knee clinic for screening and an X-ray to assess her condition and explore possible treatment options.
Following her assessment and X-ray, the medical team determined that she could benefit from steroid injections to help manage her knee symptoms. She received her first injection in her left knee and was asked to return the following day for treatment of her right knee.
When Elizabeth returned, she shared encouraging news: she was now able to walk on her left knee, which had previously made walking difficult. She returned with renewed hope to receive the planned injection in her right knee.
Elizabeth expressed her gratitude to Save Africa Foundation for the care and support she received. Her experience highlights the importance of making healthcare services accessible to people who might otherwise struggle to obtain assessment and treatment for their conditions.
At Save Africa Foundation, every patient’s story reminds us why we serve. Through our medical outreach programmes, we strive to bring compassionate care closer to underserved communities, improve quality of life, and give people renewed hope for a healthier future.
Elizabeth’s story is a reminder that meaningful care begins with listening, continues with treatment, and is reflected in the difference it makes in people’s everyday lives.
