Leading the team from the bank, Margaret Obimpeh, Head of Affluent, and Chairperson of Blue Fusion presented the items to the hospital staff. She commended them for their hard work and shared that this donation is part of their mission to support quality healthcare delivery.

She said, “We are part of the ladies Forum in the bank, which we call Blue Fusion. We set this group up purposely to advance the career growth and development of the women in the bank.

Additionally, we believe in making a positive impact on the communities within which we operate, through focus areas such as health and education. We know that health is wealth and if women who are the backbone of SMEs in Ghana, are healthy, they will be more productive and create wealth for themselves and their families.”

She added, “This quarter we decided to visit the Upper West Regional Hospital to give back. Our mission here is simple, we are here to support the mother and child unit of the hospital.

This is our widow’s mite to the hospital to help the doctors and nurses improve the quality of healthcare services they provide to our women and children. We are impressed by the sacrifices they make daily to support these mothers and children and we felt it necessary to play our part. On behalf of Stanbic Bank and the Blue Fusion Ladies forum of the Bank, we are excited to present these items to you. It is our genuine hope that through this you can do much more than you already do and help even more women in the community receive access to healthcare.”

Dr. Amesiya Robert, Medical Director of the Upper West Regional Hospital, in receiving the items said, “we strive to be the best unit in the country and very recently we were looking to expand. We cannot take care of all the patients we receive, because we are also a referral centre.

This donation is therefore very timely and will go a long way to improve our services to those in need.  We are grateful to the Blue Fusion ladies of Stanbic Bank for this donation. We understand that we are in a harsh financial climate but you have still gone out of your way to reach out and support those in need. Thank you very much.”

The Stanbic Ladies Forum, Blue Fusion, was launched to pave the way for a brighter and more inclusive future for women in the bank and to promote gender equity and empowerment. Earlier this year the Forum donated reading and learning materials worth GH¢30,000 to Serwaa Nyarko Girls’ SHS in Kumasi.
