Prudential Bank has donated an amount of GHS 20,000.00 as a show of love to support the payment of medical bills for over 30 children at the 37 Military Hospital - Paediatric Department in Accra.  

The Bank’s delegation from the Marketing and Corporate Affairs Department also took the opportunity to present chocolates and piggy banks to encourage savings among the children.

Making the presentation to the Hospital, Brand Manager at Prudential Bank, Jamilla Disu, said that the Bank is passionate about giving back to society, and it is instructive that children at the hospital are included in the goodwill gesture.

“At Prudential Bank, we visit communities to show love and kindness in line with our CSR goals. Promoting quality health delivery is a core part of our CSR pillars, and occasionally, we go out to demonstrate this. This year, the lot has fallen on 37 Military Hospital’s Paediatric Department, and as our closest neighbours, we are here to present a token to these beautiful children in your wards and pay for those who cannot afford their medical bills at this time. It is our belief that this gesture will go a long way to impact the lives of these children,” she said.

Acting Head of the Paediatric Department, Dr. Sheila Asamoah Okyere, who received the items and cheque on behalf of the hospital, expressed the facility’s gratitude for the donation, urging more support for the department in future.

“We are elated today for your benevolence. It is really a surprise to us, and we will make sure every child receives a gift. Also, be assured that the funds will be used for the intended purpose for which it has been made. It is our plea that you make 37 Military Hospital a constant destination for these donations annually,” she said.

The Bank’s donation formed part of its annual outreach programme embarked on in the first quarter of each year.
