MODEC, Inc. (“MODEC”) together with other partners has signed an MOU committing $250,000 (Two hundred and fifty thousand US dollars) towards health science research in Ghana.

This significant donation is specifically in support of the AMED J-Grid Project, a research collaboration between Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research (NMIMR), University of Ghana and Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU).

MODEC and its partners namely, Mitsui & Co., Ltd. (“Mitsui”), Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (“MOL”), Marubeni Corporation (“Marubeni”) and Mitsui E&S Holdings Co., Ltd. (“Mitsui E&S”) are jointly carrying out a long-term charter business for FPSO Prof. John Evans Atta Mills, a Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel, deployed at the Tweneboa, Enyenra and Ntomme (“TEN”) fields offshore Ghana.

According to Prof. Abraham Kwabena Anang, Director NMIMR, University of Ghana, this is the first ever business donation of its kind to the research project in Ghana. He explained that while NMIMR is a strategically important institute for health protection and delivery, corporate sponsorship was almost non-existent. “The donation by MODEC and partners is significant, meaningful, and very welcomed. It also fits with our goals of developing global partners”, he emphasised.
