Our Founders
Based on empathy and love for the underserved, underprivileged, widows, homeless, and those living in severe poverty, Dr. Andrew and Mrs. Margaret Ankamah founded African Neighborhoods And Medical Missions, Inc. in the U.S.A. and Good Samaritan Medical And Rehabilitation Missions in Ghana in 2013.
Dr. Ankamah currently serves as president of both organizations and is also CEO of New Jersey Sports and Spine Medicine, P.C. in Somerset, New Jersey.
Dr. Andrew and Mrs. Margaret Ankamah have had a passion for worldwide missionary work since they were very young. Growing up in Ghana, they were deeply touched by the generosity of missionaries from the U.S.A., Europe, and other countries who cared for underserved communities in urban areas, rural areas, and remote villages.
“It is more blessed to give than to receive.”
Acts 20:35 KJV
The scripture also teaches us to love one another: “And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.”
Dr. and Mrs. Ankamah travel extensively to Africa, Ghana, and other developing countries as missionaries, serving those who lack access to basic medical care and essential services.
They accept school supplies, wheelchairs, walkers, clothing, shoes, and monetary donations to help families, widows, the homeless, and hospitals.
Dr. Ankamah teaches and preaches God’s word, while Mrs. Ankamah uses her nursing background to manage mission health screenings and international health education.
Dr. Ankamah obtained his undergraduate degree with B.S. Magna Cum Laude in Biology from Temple University in Philadelphia, PA. He was an Honor Roll student and completed three years of biomedical research at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine before pursuing medicine.
He completed his medical degree at Temple University, his internship in surgery at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, and his residency in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at UMDNJ-New Jersey Medical School and Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation.
Dr. Ankamah is Board Certified in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and has received numerous awards, including American Top Physician Awards, Vitals Patients’ Choice Award, and a 5-star physician rating.
Dr. Andrew and Mrs. Ankamah are blessed with two wonderful children who also share a great desire to pursue mission work. Andrew Ankamah, Jr. has expertise in media and photography. Abena Mercy Ankamah has outstanding compassion for helping and serving the sick and underprivileged, and she assists in the pharmacy department during mission trips.
