Published by

In line with the institution’s commitment to making positive impact in local communities through its   Employee   Volunteering   Program,   the   Digital & Centralised   Operations Group of Access Bank Plc, recently partnered five primary healthcare centres (PHCs) in the Eti-Osa  East Local Council Development Area (LCDA) to improve access to quality healthcare for residents.The initiative was launched after assessments and interactions with each of the five PHCs, where significant gaps in medical supplies and equipment essential for effective healthcare delivery were identified.

To address these pressing needs, the employees provided essential medical equipment, conducted wellness symposiums, and delivered financial literacy education to medical personnel. Commenting on the drive behind the initiative, the Group Head, Digital and Centralised Operations Group at Access Bank Plc, Oluseyi Adenmosun, who was represented by his deputy,  Lynda  Ifeanyi-Anyanwu,  expressed the Bank’s dedication to community welfare.

“At  Access,  we believe in building stronger communities through initiatives that go beyond the scope of the traditional banking activities we are widely known for.

Leveraging the collective strength of our employees through mediums like the employee volunteering program, we can touch lives and directly impact critical areas like healthcare. By equipping these primary healthcare centres and educating the staff on financial management, we hope to not only improve immediate healthcare delivery but also empower these communities for the long term.”

As part of the initiative,   the wellness symposium aimed at enhancing healthcare practices in the community while providing valuable information on preventive care and holistic health approaches. Additionally, the financial literacy sessions empowered the healthcare workers with practical techniques to better manage resources.Dr. Oyebanji Elegushi, the Medical Officer of Health Eti-Osa East LCDA, expressed gratitude on behalf of the community. “This partnership with Access Bank is a welcome relief for our healthcare facilities.

The new medical equipment and the knowledge shared by   Access   Bank staff will make a lasting difference.   We   are   now   better equipped   to   treat   more   patients   and   promote   healthier   lifestyles   within   our communities.’

Also present at the event were representatives of the   Lagos   State Government and the Health Commission in the persons of the Permanent Secretary District   3,  Dr.   Mosurat   Adeleke;   Director   Medical   Sciences   District   3,   Dr.   Adenike Oguntuase;   and the  Executive   Chairman   Eti-Osa   East   LCDA,   Hon.   John   Campus Ogindare.
