Corporate Ghana continues to rally behind the Heal Ghana Month campaign, with Consolidated Bank Ghana (CBG) making a significant contribution to support the treatment of non-communicable diseases across the country.
In a show of solidarity, CBG on Wednesday presented a cheque for GHS300,000 to the Ghana Medical Trust Fund (GMTF) to help advance its mission of providing financial support to Ghanaians battling critical non-communicable diseases.
The donation was led by the Managing Director of CBG, Dr. Naomi Wolali Kwetey, who described the contribution as a modest gesture toward a much larger cause.
“This is just a token, and we will come back with more going forward. I want to commend you for the good work you are doing. Until we came here today, we had no idea about the magnitude of the work you have put in. You are doing very well,” Dr. Kwetey said during the presentation.
The Heal Ghana Month campaign is an initiative that calls on both individuals and corporate institutions to support the Trust Fund’s mandate of helping patients who cannot afford treatment for life-threatening non-communicable diseases.
Receiving the cheque on behalf of the Board of Trustees and management, Administrator of the Fund Obuobia Darko-Opoku expressed profound gratitude to the bank for stepping forward at a critical time.
“We are speechless and deeply touched that despite the many pressures and responsibilities on the bank, you chose to remember us,” she said.
“What you have done today is give some Ghanaians a second chance at life. We urge you to continue standing with us so that together we can heal Ghana.”
The gesture from CBG underscores the growing support from corporate Ghana for the Heal Ghana Month campaign, as more organizations respond to the call to help save lives through the Ghana Medical Trust Fund.
