The Chief Executive Officer of MTN Ghana, Stephen Blewett, has reaffirmed the company’s commitment to improving healthcare delivery and enhancing the well-being of communities through a major hospital bed and furniture refurbishment initiative under this year’s 21 Days of Yello Care program.
Speaking at Maamobi General Hospital, where Stephen joined MTN Ghana employee volunteers and partners to refurbish hospital beds and furniture, he said the initiative reflects MTNs belief that meaningful change happens when people go beyond financial support and become personally involved in transforming lives.
For patients receiving care, a hospital bed is more than furniture. It is a place of healing, recovery and renewed hope. Through this intervention, MTN Ghana is helping to create safer, more comfortable and dignified spaces for patients during some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives.
Describing 21 Days of Yello Care as one of MTN Ghanas most impactful employee volunteer initiatives, Stephen noted that every year, employees dedicate their time, energy and skills to making a lasting difference in communities across Ghana.
Giving back is not only about financial contributions. It is about being present, actively participating and working alongside communities to create positive change, he said.
Under the initiative, MTN Ghana has already refurbished 3,880 hospital beds nationwide. The intervention includes mechanical restoration, repairs, repainting and refurbishment of hospital furniture, including reupholstering wooden furniture across selected healthcare facilities.
Stephen explained that beyond improving infrastructure, the project is ultimately about restoring comfort, dignity and quality care for patients and creating environments that support healing.
He further called on corporate organisations to play a more active role in addressing national development challenges, especially within the healthcare sector.
Imagine the impact if every major company committed to supporting healthcare facilities and other critical sectors. Together, we can strengthen Ghanas healthcare system and improve the quality of life for thousands of people, he said.
Beyond infrastructure support, MTN Ghana also announced a partnership with DOSH Health Insurance to extend care to vulnerable patients facing financial hardship.
Through the partnership, DOSH Health Insurance will provide health insurance support package valued at GH¢1 million to assist patients who have been medicall
