The First Sky Group, a prominent business conglomerate in Ghana, has demonstrated its commitment to healthcare by investing over GH₵32 million in providing free dialysis for kidney patients since 2016.

In addition to the significant investment in free dialysis, the company has sponsored successful kidney transplants in the past year.

Announcing these initiatives at the 21st Anniversary and Thanksgiving Service of The First Sky Group in Accra, Executive Chairman Eric Seddy Kutortse highlighted the group’s dedication to supporting healthcare and improving the lives of individuals facing kidney-related challenges.

He affirmed that the group is actively working towards establishing a kidney transplant centre at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital.

The Chairman emphasized that a joint committee is actively working on the project, with the aim of completing the kidney transplant centre by the end of 2024.

This ambitious initiative aligns with The First Sky Group’s commitment to making a meaningful impact on healthcare in Ghana.

The 21st Anniversary and Thanksgiving Service, an annual event for The First Sky Group, was themed ‘The faithfulness of the Lord never ceases,’ drawing inspiration from Lamentations 3:22-23.

The theme focused on expressing gratitude for God’s enduring blessings throughout 2023 and the past two decades, even amid global challenges.

Mr. Kutortse, while reflecting on the group’s growth, attributed its success to the abundant grace and love of God.

He also emphasized the role of The First Sky Group in corporate entrepreneurship, contributing to job creation, innovative solutions, and wealth development.

In a philanthropic endeavor, the group announced plans to build 50 church buildings through its rural area evangelism programme.

The initiative aims to eradicate churches in classrooms and under trees, fostering a conducive environment for worship.

Looking ahead to 2024, the Executive Chairman expressed The First Sky Group’s dedication to pursuing individual and national aspirations.

He stressed the importance of unity, diversity, and vision in driving collective success.

Addressing Ghanaians ahead of the upcoming elections, Mr. Kutortse urged citizens to approach the polls with resolute energy, fortitude, and a shared purpose to preserve collective peace.

He encouraged reflection on the countless opportunities that lie ahead in 2024, emphasizing the pursuit of individual and national aspirations anchored in collective strength, unity in diversity, and vision.

The Presiding Bishop of the Methodist Church of Ghana, Most Rev. Dr. Paul Kwabena Boafo, delivered a sermon on the theme, ‘The faithfulness of the Lord never ceases.’

He emphasized that the chosen theme encapsulates the nature of God, highlighting God’s dependability and trustworthiness.

The programme concluded with a prayer for blessings upon Ghana, echoing a collective wish for a rich and resilient nation.

The First Sky Group continues to play a pivotal role in various sectors, combining business success with a commitment to social responsibility and community development.
