The Central Management Team of the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital has paid a courtesy call on the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) to explore opportunities for collaboration and mutual support.
The visit served as a platform to strengthen relations, discuss potential areas of partnership, and exchange vital information.
Representing the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital were the Acting Director of Medical Affairs, Dr. Harry Akoto; Director of Administration, Mr. Munir Alhassan; Acting Director of Finance, Mr. Gideon Gawuga; Deputy Director of Supply Chain, Madam Felicity Commey; Director of Pharmacy, Dr. Charles Ofei-Palm; Chief Nursing Officer, Madam Margaret Acheampong; and Head of Public Relations, Mr. Mustapha Salifu.
The delegation, led by the Director of Administration, Mr. Munir Alhassan, on behalf of the Chief Executive, was warmly received by a GNPC team led by the Acting Chief Executive, Mr. Kwame Ntow Amoah, together with other directors of the corporation.
In their submission, the Korle Bu team emphasised the importance of partnerships, noting that while government support remains essential, it cannot address all the hospital’s needs. They expressed appreciation for GNPC’s assistance over the years and signalled their desire for a strategic partnership that could also extend certain health benefit advantages to GNPC.
GNPC, in response, noted that it is adopting innovative approaches to mobilise resources, adding that health, safety, security, and environmental sustainability remain critical priorities for the corporation. The corporation expressed confidence in the potential for mutually beneficial collaboration and encouraged the hospital to submit a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and a detailed proposal outlining strategies to advance the partnership.
Both parties reaffirmed their commitment to building on the cordial relationship established over the years to achieve shared objectives.
