Quantum LC has donated critical medical equipment to the National Cardiothoracic Centre at Korle Bu Teaching Hospital to support the delivery of life-saving cardiac care. The donation was made on February 14, 2025, on behalf of the company’s Chief Executive Officer, Joseph Titus-Glover, his family, and the entire Quantum LC team.
The support includes one PERLOVE PLX5300 Mobile Digital X-ray Machine and three DRAEGERWERK ICU ventilators, aimed at complementing existing equipment at the Centre and improving its capacity to manage complex heart conditions.
Receiving the items, Director of the National Cardiothoracic Centre, Dr. Kow Entsua-Mensah, expressed appreciation to Quantum LC, describing the donation as timely. He noted that several machines at the Centre were ageing and increasingly prone to breakdowns, adding that the new equipment would help reduce the cost of major heart surgeries in Ghana and make critical procedures more accessible to patients.
In a brief address, CEO Joseph Titus-Glover said the donation was driven by the recognition that anyone could one day depend on the Centre’s services. “We never know when any of us might require this equipment at the Centre to save our own lives or those of our loved ones. In giving, we are ultimately safeguarding our own future,” he stated.
Acknowledging prevailing economic challenges, he added that saving lives remained a shared responsibility. “Yes, these are difficult times, but by God’s grace, we are still standing. We will work hard to replenish what we give because saving lives is a duty we all share,” he said.

The Quantum LC team, also known as “Quantum Soldiers”, also used the occasion to appeal for public support, noting that assisting with a single heart surgery costs about GH¢10,000 and that more than 90 per cent of surgeries depend on individual sponsorship. They encouraged individuals to join the cause, and commit to supporting at least one heart surgery annually to help save lives.
