The life and legacy of the late Dr. Kwaku Ohene-Frempong was recently celebrated by family, friends and colleagues at his portrait unveiling ceremony on our campus last month. A painting was commissioned to commemorate his more than four-decades long career to improving the lives of people with sickle cell disease (SCD).

“KOF,” as he was widely known, was an international leader in the treatment of SCD and established many of the current practice standards. He spent most of his career at CHOP, training as a hematology-oncology fellow and devoting more than 30 years as a hematologist at our hospital, establishing the Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center and treating thousands of patients before moving back to Ghana, his native country, to improve the standard of care for Ghanaian children impacted by the disease.
