Stanbic Bank Ghana, a subsidiary of the Standard Bank Group, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Ghana Medical Association (GMA) aimed at offering tailor-made financial solutions to members of the GMA.

Speaking at the MOU signing ceremony at Stanbic Heights in Accra, Kwamina Asomaning, Chief Executive of Stanbic Bank said health is one of the key areas the bank is committed to supporting because of its importance to economic development.

He said “With our focus on driving Ghana’s growth, we have identified key areas that are critical to the growth and development of the economy and the nation. The most important being the human resource, that is, the people who drive economic growth. It has therefore become a priority area for us to focus on professions in the country to provide them with sound financial support to help them achieve their aspirations which collectively contribute to our growth as a country.”

“Over the years we have demonstrated that we deeply care about the health and general well-being of people in communities we operate in. In 2023, we positively contributed towards quality healthcare delivery by donating ventilator machines, supporting the Child Cancer units of Ridge and Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, paid for treatment cost for a number of patients, financed healthcare providers’ participation in international conferences and medical exchange programs, and supported development of health-related infrastructure in Ghana. Our employees also voluntarily fund health-related CSI initiatives,” Mr. Asomaning added.
