At Ghana Re’s 2025 Annual Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)/Donations to selected institutions held on December 16, 2025, the Managing Director of Ghana Re, Mr. Seth K. Aklasi introduced the three institutions to receive our 2025 annual CSR/donations. The institutions were:
-
-
- Lifeline for Childhood Cancer Ghana
- University of Cape Coast School of Business
- Ghana Heart Foundation
-
Mr. Aklasi indicated that Corporate Social Responsibility is not merely an obligation for Ghana Re but it is a conscious choice to contribute positively to the communities that support our operations and enable our growth.
The insurance industry is fundamentally sustained by businesses and individuals with the capacity to utilize our services. This capacity is largely built on key resources, foremost among them being a healthy human capital. Accordingly, it is essential that as a player in the industry, we support institutions who provide quality healthcare and education towards the development of the much needed human capital.
He stated that a healthy population is the backbone of productivity, innovation, and economic growth. Similarly, education empowers individuals with knowledge, skills, and confidence, enabling them to contribute meaningfully to society. By supporting both sectors, we are investing not only in institutions, but in people and in the future because healthcare and education remain two of the most critical pillars of national development.
He further stated that it is against this background that the Company reinvests a portion of its annual profits into worthy initiatives aimed at promoting a healthy and safe environment.
The presentation to the three institutions for the Company’s 2025 CSR activity were as follows:
- LIFELINE FOR CHILDHOOD CANCER GHANA (LCCG)
Mr. Aklasi indicated that Ghana Re has over the years supported Lifeline for Childhood Cancer Ghana (LCCG), a patient organisation and fund raising foundation partner for the Pediatric Oncology Treatment Unit of the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital as well as the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital and LCCG is dedicated to making childhood cancer a national health priority in Ghana, by facilitating increased access to optimal treatment and care for children affected by cancer in Ghana.
He stated that Ghana Re’s donation of GH¢50,000.00 to LCCG is to assist with the building of a new 40-bed Pediatric Oncology Center at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital to cater for more children because the current ward at the Korle-Bu teaching Hospital can only take 25 children at a time and there are about 500 new cases each year with many children being turned away and Ghana Re believes that assisting LCCG with building the said Pediatric Oncology Center will go a long way to enable them provide care for children with cancers.
- GHANA HEART FOUNDATION (GHF)
Mr. Aklasi further indicated that Ghana Heart Foundation (GHF) is a charitable entity that supports the National Cardiothoracic Center at Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital by facilitating public donations for heart related research, patient care and creating a supportive environment for heart health in Ghana.
The GHF has over the years supported every Ghanaian patient undergoing heart surgery to the tune of 50% to 100% of surgeries and this has been made possible because of donations that the Foundation receives from individuals and organisations.
As done in previous years, Ghana Re’s donation of GH¢50,000.00 to the GHF was to assist patients access heart surgery at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital.
- UNIVERSITY OF CAPE COAST SCHOOL OF BUSINESS
He further indicated that the University of Cape Coast (UCC) School of Business has been running business programmes for the past 50 years. Currently, the UCC School of Business has 37 programmes (undergraduate, master’s and doctoral) with the potential to add 24 new programmes within the next four years.
Student enrollment has increased to over 6,000 which is likely to increase further due to the government’s flagship programme of free first-year university and additional new programmes in the offing which have placed tremendous pressure on the existing School of Business Administrative Complex. To this end, the School currently needs to expand its current infrastructure to meet its changing demands.
The current infrastructure deficit has compelled students to use the corridors of the existing administrative building for group and personal studies, which is not conducive for academic work and also disturbs the administrative work of the school.
Mr. Aklasi further stated that Ghana Re’s donation of GH¢100,000.00 to the School was in response to their request to assist with the construction of six summer huts with a snack shop to reduce pressure on the main administrative block while facilitating effective learning and administration.
Concluding his remarks, the Managing Director presented the cheques to the three institutions trusting that it will go a long way to help them achieve their goals of providing quality healthcare and education for our society.
