International ride-hailing and mobility service Yango, part of a global tech company Yango Group, has partnered with Beaver Health, a renowned healthcare and wellness service provider to provide subsidized health and wellness services for its partners, partner drivers, couriers and their families in Ghana.

The partnership, which is dubbed ‘’Wellness on Wheels’’, was launched on Wednesday, 28th August, 2024 at a signing event held at the Beaver Clinic in Accra. Yango’s partners, partner drivers and couriers went through free health and wellness screening and extensive medical advice.

Mr. Tom Ofonime, Country Manager for Yango in Ghana, emphasized Yango’s commitment to providing opportunities for all partner drivers and couriers to access health and wellness services regularly. This he said is part of the #YangoCares agenda of the company which aims at making the lives of Ghanaians easier and better through technology.
