In a demonstration of its commitment to community impact, Access Bank Plc’s Digital & Centralised Operations Group has partnered with five primary healthcare centres (PHCs) in Eti-Osa East Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Lagos State, to enhance access to quality healthcare.
This initiative, part of the Bank’s Employee Volunteering Program, addressed critical gaps in medical supplies, equipment, and healthcare delivery in the area.
After conducting thorough assessments of the PHCs, the Bank’s employees provided essential medical equipment, organized wellness symposiums, and facilitated financial literacy training for medical personnel. These efforts aim to bolster healthcare delivery and empower healthcare workers to manage resources effectively.
