BTA2023 In a compassionate effort to support vulnerable children and families, FirstBank Ghana’s Premium Banking Team has extended its commitment to healthcare and community well-being. The team recently donated essential medical supplies to the Child Oncology Ward at Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, in partnership with the Lifeline for Childhood Cancer Ghana (LCCG) Foundation. This initiative aims to bolster the resources available for children undergoing cancer treatment.
Beyond this, FirstBank addressed the pressing needs of new mothers unable to settle their medical bills post-delivery. By covering these expenses, the bank ensured that these mothers could return home with their newborns without financial burdens.
Victor Yaw Asante, Managing Director/CEO of FirstBank Ghana, emphasized the bank’s dedication to community support, stating, “Our commitment to supporting those in need is unwavering, and we are honored to contribute to the well-being of children battling cancer and mothers facing financial challenges.”
This initiative aligns with FirstBank Ghana’s ongoing efforts to enhance healthcare accessibility. The bank has a history of supporting health-related causes, including contributions to national polio campaigns and donations to various health facilities. Their partnership with the LCCG Foundation underscores a shared mission to improve outcomes for children diagnosed with cancer.
During the donation event, FirstBank representatives engaged with young patients, their families, and healthcare professionals, expressing gratitude for the medical staff’s dedication and offering encouragement to those affected.
Allen Quaye, Head of Retail Banking, highlighted the broader impact of the initiative: “This initiative is not just about financial support; it is about showing love and solidarity to those who are facing immense challenges.”
FirstBank Ghana remains steadfast in its commitment to supporting vulnerable populations and encourages others to join in efforts that uplift and empower communities across the nation.
