GCB Bank Staff Enhance Healthcare Delivery with Major Equipment Donations to Kpando and Aflao Hospitals

Employees of GCB Bank PLC have intensified their support for Ghana's healthcare sector through significant donations to the Margaret Marquart Catholic Hospital in Kpando and the Ketu South Municipal Hospital in Aflao. These contributions, delivered under the bank’s 2026 Staff Community Impact Programme (SCIP), aim to address critical infrastructure gaps and improve service delivery for thousands of patients across the Volta and Oti regions. By leveraging internal resources and employee initiative, the bank is targeting specific clinical needs identified by hospital administrators. In Aflao, the bank's staff focused their efforts on the maternity ward of the Ketu South Municipal Hospital, a facility that serves between 250 and 270 expectant mothers every month. Recognizing the pressure on the ward's resources, the employees provided essential maternity equipment, including delivery beds, drip stands, and bedside lockers. This intervention is expected to enhance the quality of care for both mothers and newborns, ensuring a safer and more comfortable environment for childbirth in one of the region's busiest municipal hospitals. The Margaret Marquart Catholic Hospital in Kpando also received a vital boost to its operational and clinical capacity. In response to a direct request for assistance with patient movement and administrative bottlenecks, GCB staff donated wheelchairs and stretchers alongside laptops. These items are designed to improve the efficiency of healthcare delivery by streamlining data management and reducing the physical burden on medical staff when transporting patients within the hospital premises. These donations are part of a broader national effort by GCB Bank, involving over 4,500 employees organized into 95 distinct groups working on various community projects. The 2026 SCIP emphasizes direct employee engagement with local communities to identify and solve pressing needs. By empowering staff to lead these initiatives, GCB Bank continues to demonstrate its commitment to corporate social responsibility while fostering a culture of service that extends beyond financial banking into the fundamental well-being of the Ghanaian populace.
