Corporate Ghana has been encouraged to intensify its support for critical healthcare interventions following a significant donation from Safebond Africa Limited to the Ghana Medical Trust Fund (GMTF).
Mr. Edusei Jnr. led a team to the Secretariat of the Fund to present a cheque of GH¢100,000 in support of the ongoing “Kyɛrɛ Wo Dɔ” (“Show Your Love”) campaign.
He explained that the availability of tax deductions for such contributions makes corporate giving more sustainable rather than a one-time act of goodwill.
“When donations are tax-deductible, it enables us to contribute consistently on a monthly basis.
This policy is encouraging and promotes long-term corporate participation,” he stated.
The donation will help boost the Fund’s work in supporting individuals suffering from chronic non-communicable diseases, including those requiring dialysis and cancer treatment — conditions that often place heavy financial burdens on families.
The Fund’s Administrator, Adjoa Obuobia Darko-Opoku, expressed gratitude for the support. She noted that the Trust Fund’s operations demand substantial financial resources and depend heavily on private sector contributions to remain effective.
According to her, government-backed policies such as tax incentives play a vital role in motivating businesses to get involved.
“Running the Trust Fund requires significant funding. Support from corporate Ghana, in addition to government allocations, is essential to ensuring the success of this initiative,” she said.
Through its generous donation and pledge to make regular monthly contributions, Safebond Africa has set a strong example for other companies.
The development demonstrates how well-structured incentives combined with corporate social responsibility can make a meaningful impact on saving lives.
