GCB Bank Ltd has donated an amount of ¢100,000.00 to the Covid-19 National Trust Fund to help support sensitization work and reduction in the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The donation by the Bank forms part of its corporate social responsibility of supporting and partnering with state institutions to achieve national development agenda.
The Deputy Managing Director of GCB in charge of Finance, Socrates Afram, who presented the cheque to the Chairperson of the Trust Fund, Her Ladyship Justice Sophia Akuffo, on behalf of the Board, Management and Staff of the Bank, commended the Trust on the good work being done to minimise the spread and impact of the disease.
He stated that GCB as a wholly-owned Ghanaian bank and corporate citizen, anything that affects the people of Ghana is of great importance to the Bank.
Mr Afram said GCB Bank has mounted several educational campaigns, enforced stringent Covid-19 protocols and donated PPEs institutions and communities in its quest to stem the effects of the pandemic and save lives.
The Ministry of Health, Judicial Service of Ghana, Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies and about 650 medical doctors, nurses and other health services staff have benefitted from donation and distribution of PPEs, water tanks, feeding, among others to help combat the pandemic.
The former CJ expressed her appreciation to the Bank for the gesture and explained that although there are vaccines for the disease and that the Covid-19 battle is far from over.
She, therefore, called for more financial support since the Trust is running out of funds and donations have slowed down.
She also touched on the work of the Trust which involves continuous Covid-19 sensitization to encourage adherence to the Covid-19 protocols and vaccination drives, adding, 'Mask Up, Covid Down’ meaning when you put your mask on, you cut down the power of Covid-19.
Present at the donation ceremony included Kojo Kwarteng and John Adamah, Heads of Corporate Affairs and Retail Banking Departments respectively.
