First Atlantic Bank backs Ghana Medical Trust Fund with healthcare donation

First Atlantic Bank has extended financial support to the Ghana Medical Trust Fund as part of its corporate social responsibility agenda to strengthen healthcare delivery across the country.

A delegation from the Bank, led by the Executive Director of Business, Mr Daniel Marfo, visited the Fund on Tuesday, September 16, 2025, accompanied by Mr James Abonney, Regional Head for Accra East; Mr Chris Kan-Dapaah, Group Head of Energy Banking; and Mr Ebenezer Akyeampong, Head of Corporate Communications.

Mr Marfo said the donation was a reflection of the Bank’s commitment to expanding access to quality healthcare and its belief that good health remained the bedrock of national development. “This donation is not only a demonstration of the Bank’s strong corporate social responsibility agenda but also a reflection of its belief that good health is a foundation for national development,” he stated. He further assured the Fund of the Bank’s willingness to continue supporting interventions in the sector.

Receiving the delegation, the Fund’s Administrator, Mrs Obuobia Darko-Opoku, expressed appreciation for the timely intervention. She said the donation would provide vital support in addressing the growing burden of chronic non-communicable diseases while improving access to specialised medical care for vulnerable patients.

Mrs Darko-Opoku stressed the importance of corporate institutions complementing government’s vision of building a resilient healthcare system. She commended First Atlantic Bank for “setting an example of purposeful corporate citizenship” and pledged that every contribution would be channelled towards saving lives and creating long-term impact.
