Corporate Ghana has been called to action in support of life-saving healthcare initiatives as Safebond Africa Limited made a significant contribution to the Ghana Medical Trust Fund (GMTF).
The company’s Group Executive Chairman, Krobo Edusei Jnr., led a delegation to the GMTF Secretariat to present a GH₵100,000 donation toward the Fund’s “Kyɛrɛ Wo Dɔ” (“Show Your Love”) initiative. He praised the 100% tax deduction for corporate donations as a strategic incentive that encourages ongoing private sector engagement.
“If it is tax-deductible, then we can continue monthly to support the Trust Fund. This is very welcoming and motivates sustained corporate involvement,” Edusei Jnr. said, highlighting the potential for repeatable, long-term contributions from businesses.
The donation is intended to bolster GMTF’s support for Ghanaians battling chronic non-communicable diseases, including dialysis and cancer care, which place heavy financial burdens on affected families.
Adjoa Obuobia Darko-Opoku, Administrator of the Fund, expressed gratitude for the contribution, noting that GMTF operations are capital-intensive and rely heavily on corporate participation. She emphasised that government incentives, such as tax deductions, play a crucial role in mobilising private sector resources.
By setting the example with a substantial initial donation and committing to monthly contributions, Safebond Africa is challenging other corporate entities to actively engage in saving lives and supporting sustainable healthcare initiatives in Ghana.
