Kanda Community Receives Free Health Screening from Consolidated Bank Ghana Limited

Residents of Kanda in Accra have benefited from a free health screening exercise organised by Consolidated Bank Ghana Limited (CBG), aimed at promoting preventive healthcare and improving community well-being.

The outreach program brought together medical professionals and volunteers who provided essential services, including blood pressure checks, blood sugar testing, body mass index (BMI) assessments, and general medical consultations. The initiative forms part of CBG’s corporate social responsibility efforts focused on enhancing access to basic healthcare services, particularly in underserved communities.

Residents turned out in significant numbers to take advantage of the exercise, with many expressing appreciation for the opportunity to receive free medical attention and advice. Health experts at the event also educated participants on lifestyle choices, early detection of diseases, and the importance of regular check-ups.

Speaking on the rationale behind the outreach, Managing Director of CBG, Dr Naomi Wolali Kwetey, said many individuals are often unable to prioritise routine health checks due to their work commitments.“By bringing these services closer to the community, we are making it easier for people to access essential healthcare and take proactive steps towards their wellbeing,” she noted.

The outreach is the sixth in a series of health screening programmes undertaken by CBG in 2026, reflecting the Bank’s commitment to expanding access to healthcare across communities.

The Kanda health screening exercise not only addressed immediate health concerns but also reinforced the need for sustained partnerships between corporate institutions and communities to promote healthier living across Ghana.
