Imperial General Assurance donates cash to support Radiology Department of Korle Bu

According to Mr. Harry Ofori-Attah , Managing Director of Imperial General Assurance, protecting properties and lives goes beyond insurance policies.

That’s why they proudly supported  the Radiology Department of the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital with GHS 45,000 to help renovate some dilapidated facilities to enable the department  kickstart the provision of 24-hour ultrasound services.

This gesture is timely because when a patient needs urgent care in the middle of the night, waiting until morning will be things of the past.

According to the Ag. Head of the Radiology Department, Dr. Hafisatu Gbadamosi, currently, an average of up to five to ten patients per week requiring urgent nighttime imaging must wait until morning.

 “This delay can lead to late diagnoses and create systematic short and long term bottlenecks in the overall patient care process hospital-wide. Renovating the on-call room will allow our team to provide these critical services immediately, improving patient outcomes and streamlining our workflow. Our residents will be at the forefront of this vital service, serving as the primary point of contact for all urgent and emergency imaging needs during the night.”, she explained.

Imperial General Assurance is honoured to play a small part in a bigger change — improving spaces for the heroes who save lives and ensuring timely care for those who need it most.

The support to the Radiology Department “aligns with Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG 3)-Good Health and Well- being is one of the focus areas of Imperial’s Corporate Social Responsibility policy.” said Harry Ofori-Attah, Managing Director of Imperial General Assurance
