CBG organises free health screening for Kanda residents
Consolidated Bank Ghana LTD. (CBG) has conducted a free health screening exercise at the National Mosque in Kanda, Accra, benefiting hundreds of residents from the community and surrounding areas.
The initiative reflects the bank’s commitment to promoting preventive healthcare and improving access to essential health services.
Speaking on the rationale behind the outreach, the Managing Director of CBG, Dr Naomi Wolali Kwetey, said many individuals were often unable to prioritise routine health checks due to their work commitments.
“By bringing these services closer to the community, we are making it easier for people to access essential healthcare and take proactive steps towards their wellbeing,” she stated.
She also emphasised that CBG remained steadfast in its mission to support communities not only through financial services but also through impactful social interventions that improved quality of life.

The outreach is the sixth in a series of health screening programmes undertaken by CBG in 2026, reflecting the bank’s commitment to expanding access to healthcare across communities.
The screening covered a range of basic health checks, including blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar level, offering participants the opportunity to assess their health status.
Participants also received free medical consultations, and where necessary, medications, enabling them to understand their health status better and seek further medical care.
Alhaji Raheem Mohammed, a beneficiary who spoke to the Daily Graphic, expressed appreciation to the organisers, describing the exercise as both timely and life-saving.
He indicated that beyond the free screening, the education on healthy lifestyles and disease prevention had equipped them with knowledge to better manage their health.
"I have heard about cholesterol but had never checked mine, today I checked and I was given the necessary information on it and free medication without any form of payment, I'm grateful to the organisers of this health screening" Alhaji Mohammed stated.
Hajia Rabiatu, also a beneficiary, expressed appreciation to CBG for the support to the Kanda community and requested that it should become a continuous outreach for the community.
