Some patrons at the event

A family physician with special interest in
women’s health at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital (KBTH), Dr. Ayango Annan, has
called on Ghanaians to go for regular medical check-ups.

Dr. Annan, who led a team of health professionals
to undertake a health screening exercise organised by FBNBank Ghana, a
subsidiary of First Bank of Nigeria Limited, indicated that “there is the need
for us to always know our health status in order to be in a better position to
deal with conditions that might prove fatal if unattended to.”

The exercise, which was organised by the bank
as part of its Corporate Responsibility Sustainability Week celebrations
(CR&S Week) at Santa Maria (a suburb of Accra) and Suame in Kumasi, saw
hundreds of people receiving screening and treatment for a wide range of
conditions.

Shedding more light on her call, Dr. Annan
stated that “some diseases do not necessarily portray any symptoms at the onset
stage and the only way for us to know our full health status is to attend
check-ups.”

Dr. Ellen Konadu Antwi-Agyei, an optometrist at
Optical Express Eye Centre in Accra, commended FBNBank for the exercise and
appealed to the bank to consider rolling out such exercises at least twice
every year for maximum impact.

The Head of Commercial Banking at FBNBank Ghana
Limited, William Neequaye, who spoke on the rationale behind the bank’s CR&S
Week, said the programme is driven to amplify the culture of ‘Employee Giving
& Volunteering Programme’ with a focus on reinforcing the values of the
bank’s SPARK (Start Performing Acts of Random Kindness) initiative.
