I was born and raised by Mr. Samuel Asiamah and Mrs. Comfort Konyor in Suhum in the eastern region of Ghana. I had my basic education at Suhum New Town Primary and JHS. I had a poor family so I had to sponsor myself in school. I did so and made it to the tertiary level. I offered [completed] a diploma in medical laboratory technician, and that is how I came up with my business. I have a two-year-old daughter. I hope she grows up to like my field of occupation. Whenever I have free time, I read news online.
I am a medical laboratory technician. I do blood screening and test for various diseases. I have passion for the work. Also, private hospitals do these tests at a relatively high cost. I just want to do it at a lower cost so that many people in my country (Ghana) can undertake voluntary counselling and testing. Currently, I use my capital for testing machines and some chemicals. I use my profits to sponsor my wife and children. I also reinvest the remaining [profit].
I plan using the loan to purchase laboratory equipments. I will buy a water bath to put samples at the right temperature and a centrifuge to spin samples. These two items will cost around five hundred dollars.
I will benefit from this because I'm going to use these new items to make work easier and faster, which in turn make those who come to the lab not spend long hours waiting for results.
I expect my profit to increase because using the new instruments will allow me to attend to more people a day and also in a shorter amount of time. By so doing, my profit will increase.
