First Sky Group Shifts Health Support to Kidney Transplants After Years of Free Dialysis
Share:

As part of its broader social investment agenda, the First Sky Group has made significant contributions to healthcare delivery in Ghana, particularly in the area of kidney care, providing sustained support to patients requiring dialysis and kidney transplant services.

Over the past eight years, the wholly Ghanaian-owned conglomerate has committed more than GH¢51 million to fund free dialysis treatment for patients at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital.

The intervention helped ease the financial burden on individuals suffering from kidney failure at a time when dialysis costs were largely borne by patients and their families.

Speaking during activities to mark the Group’s 23rd anniversary, Executive Chairman Eric Seddy Kutortse said the dialysis support formed part of First Sky’s belief that private enterprise must play a direct role in improving access to essential healthcare services, especially for vulnerable groups.

With the Government of Ghana now absorbing the cost of dialysis treatment nationwide, Mr. Kutortse said First Sky has redirected its health-focused intervention toward kidney transplant services.

In 2025, the Group fully sponsored six successful kidney transplant procedures carried out in Ghana, helping to expand access to advanced renal care locally.

According to Mr. Kutortse, the shift reflects a strategic approach to healthcare support, aimed at complementing public health policy while addressing gaps in specialised medical services.

He said the Group remains committed to supporting life-saving health interventions that improve quality of life and long-term outcomes for patients.

First Sky’s health investments form part of its wider philosophy that economic growth must be inclusive, with social impact initiatives designed to ensure that vulnerable populations are not left behind as the economy develops.
