Traditional leaders and CGB officials cutting the tape to officially open the lab
Consolidated Bank Ghana LTD (CBG) has officially commissioned an ultramodern laboratory and surgical theatre at the Larteh Health Centre in Akropong.
This initiative is part of the bank’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) commitment. It also aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) three (3) which targets good health and well-being for all.
Managing Director of Consolidated Bank Ghana LTD, Daniel Addo, highlighted the importance of accessibility to healthcare services.
“We believe that quality healthcare should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their geographic location. By investing in the Larteh Health Centre, we are fulfilling our Corporate Social Responsibility but most importantly contributing to the health and well-being of our communities,” he stated.
He added “Our CSR initiatives focus on health, community development, and education. By aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), we address crucial areas that promote progress and well-being, and this new laboratory and surgical theatre would address a significant gap in local healthcare.”
The upgraded laboratory is equipped with modern diagnostic tools to facilitate faster and more accurate testing.
The surgical theatre will enable essential services that were previously hard to access. This development will allow the Larteh Health Centre to handle more cases locally.
Deputy Director of Nursing and Midwifery Services for Akwapim North, Regina Akweley Klutse, expressed gratitude to CBG for the intervention and noted its crucial role in improving healthcare delivery.
The Akwapim North Municipal Director of Health, Dr. Nana Owusu Ensaw, who received the keys to the theatre on behalf of the Health Centre, expressed deep appreciation to CBG.
Osabarima Asiedu Okoo Ababio III, Benkumhene of Akwapim Traditional area, in his remark, commended Consolidated Bank Ghana LTD for constructing the facilities for the hospital and the community.
