Enterprise Group, the largest risk management and financial services company in Ghana, has refurbished the Male Block of the Ankaful Psychiatric Hospital in the Central Region at an estimated cost of GHS 2 Million. The refurbished Male Block comes with five (5) wards, a conference room, a nurses’ station, pantry, dining hall, treatment room, provision room and washrooms among others.
The refurbishment of the Male Block forms part of the Enterprise Group’s corporate social investments and its commitment to support the provision of sustainable healthcare to all.
Speaking at the handing over ceremony, CEO of Enterprise Group, Keli Gadzekpo said,
“At Enterprise Group we believe that being a good corporate citizen means that we have to be internally well governed and externally responsible. This is the reason why over the years, we have consistently involved ourselves in looking out for the vulnerable in society. In our small way we have tried to improve lives by creating a sustainable impact within the communities we operate, in the areas of Financial Literacy, Health and Philanthropy. We know the critical role Ankaful Psychiatric Hospital plays in the delivery of mental healthcare and we felt it a duty and an honor to respond to the hospital’s appeal for help.
He added that despite efforts by stakeholders to create awareness about mental health, more work needed to be done to promote sensitization, fight the stigma and improve healthcare delivery for persons with mental health conditions.
Director of the Ankaful Psychiatric Hospital, Dr. Kwadwo Obeng, thanked Enterprise Group for their support. He said the newly refurbished facility will go a long way to improve healthcare delivery at the center. He called on other corporate bodies and individuals to support them and contribute to the provision of sustainable healthcare in the country.
