"Okoforobour" Adomako Adjapong is the Founder and President of Medics Without Borders (MWB), an NGO which provides healthcare services and EMS training programs in developing countries such as Ghana. He is a Medical Services Administrator. He is also a Combat Medic and an Ophthalmic Technologist in USA. He holds a Bachelor's degree in Health Science, a Master's degree in International Health and a Graduate Certificate in Health Education. He is a member of the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE). He also holds Diplomas in Network Technology, Health Care and Optometry. Again, he is a certified teacher in Ghana.

"Okoforobour" Adomako relocated to the USA in 1997 with the help of his childhood friends Kwadwo Larbi Asare and Kwasi Amoakohene Kodua, both in Virginia, USA. He always describes himself as "a farmer by occupation, a teacher by profession, a computer specialist by career and a soldier by choice".

"Okoforobour" Adomako was born and raised in Ghana before relocating to the United States of America. He had the fascination for medical sciences from his childhood. He wanted to be a medical doctor but because of poverty, he could not achieve that dream. He has seen many people who suffered and are still suffering from diseases, his own parents included. His quest for access to affordable healthcare services and products inspired him to establish Medics Without Borders (MWB).

"Okoforobour" Adomako, the name meaning "never deterred", has been at the forefront of making the lives of the ordinary people better. He believes in harnessing human potentials for the good of society. He therefore uses his leadership skills to tap into human potentials to solve daily problems. It is Okoforobour's mission to help the poor get access to healthcare services and products. However, he cannot do this alone. Anyone who wants to volunteer with MWB is wholeheartedly welcomed to support our programs in whatever way possible.
