First Sky Group renews commitment to free dialysis project at its 20th anniversary thanksgiving service
Mr. Eric Seddy Kutortse, Founder and Executive Chairman of First Sky Group
The First Sky Group held its 20th Anniversary Thanksgiving service on Sunday, January 8, 2023, at the Accra International Conference Centre (AICC).
The Thanksgiving service, which was on the theme: “The Lord has done great things for us and we are glad,” attracted ministers of state, Parliamentarians, clergy, Judiciary, the Vice president of Liberia Dr. Jewel Howard Taylor, traditional leaders and management, staff partners and other stakeholders of the company to show gratitude to God for His protection throughout the 20 years of the existence of the company.
The First Sky Group has so far expended GH¢26 million on providing free dialysis treatment to over 300 patients at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra.
The group, in 2017, moved to support the worthy cause by paying off all the medical bills of all patients at the facility and instituted free dialysis for patients who frequent the Unit.
The Founder and Executive Chairman of First Sky Group, Mr. Eric Seddy Kutortse, in a welcome address said despite the global economic, social, and political developments with direct and indirect impacts on the Ghanaian economy, the power of God as the underlying factor and driving force had sustained and preserved the company throughout the year.
“We did not lay off any worker or did any working experience any pay cut, but rather improved welfare of workers and also increase our staff strength by 410 bringing it to 5,120 total workers, both permanent and casual in the entire group, he said.
He said God had been faithful to the Group, leading to the building of other subsidiaries including First Sky Commodities Limited, a Licensed Cocoa Buying company operating in all the cocoa growing areas of Ghana, and Volta Serene Hotel, a 4 Star Luxury hotel.
Mr. Kutortse announced that a joint working committee from the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital and the First Sky Group had been formed and expressed the hope that by the end of the year the kidney transplant center would be fully operational to cater to patients not only in Ghana but the entire west Africa sub-region.
