With a career spanning multiple continents and sectors, More has become a beacon of hope and progress for communities in Ghana and beyond. His unwavering commitment to improving lives, fostering development, and supporting government initiatives has left an indelible mark on society.
A Pioneer in Healthcare and Community Development
Mr. More’s journey began in the healthcare sector, where he trained as a nurse and quickly rose through the ranks. In 1990, he founded the Ayamfooya Memorial Hospital in Kongo, Nabdam District, addressing a critical need for accessible healthcare in the region. What began as a small clinic has since grown into a fully-fledged hospital, serving as a referral center for four districts and employing over 60 staff members. The hospital has significantly reduced healthcare disparities, accounting for over 30% of all outpatient visits in the Nabdam District.
Beyond healthcare, Mr. More’s leadership extends to entrepreneurship and community empowerment. As CEO of T. Mort Enterprise, he has overseen numerous construction projects, contributing to the region’s infrastructure development.
His work with the Kongo Union of the Disabled Society has been transformative, providing skills training, funding, and support to people living with disabilities. His efforts have empowered them to lead more independent and fulfilling lives.
A Political Visionary and Advocate
Mr. More’s political career is equally distinguished. As a founding member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Upper East Region, he has played a pivotal role in shaping the party’s direction.
Despite being a double amputee following a 1994 accident, Mr. More has remained an active financier and mentor within the NDC, funding party activities and supporting aspiring politicians. His leadership in resolving intra-party disputes and promoting harmony has earned him widespread respect.
A Legacy of Leadership and Recognition
Mr. More’s contributions have not gone unnoticed. He has received numerous accolades, including the MTN Heroes of Change National Award (2013) and honors from the Nabdam District Assembly and local chiefs.
His ability to balance multiple roles—healthcare professional, entrepreneur, political leader, and community advocate—demonstrates his exceptional management and leadership skills.
Looking Ahead
At the heart of More’s work is a deep desire to positively impact society and support government efforts in addressing emerging community needs. Leveraging his decades of experience, he continues to advocate for development, youth empowerment, and inclusive growth.
Thomas More’s life is a testament to the power of resilience, vision, and unwavering dedication to the betterment of humanity. His legacy will undoubtedly inspire future generations to pursue service and leadership with the same passion and commitment.
