KINA BANK STAFF SUPPORTS HOSPITAL WITH ESSENTIAL SUPPLIES

Staff of the Kina Bank recently donated food items and toiletries to the Maternity Ward at the Port Moresby General Hospital.

The staff were from the bank’s International Operations Department and donated the supplies as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative.

The items included baby formula milk, milo, sugar, biscuits, noodles, tinned food, juice boxes, adult diapers, toilet rolls, laundry soaps and bath soaps, which were all purchased by the staff themselves.

Treasury Risk Analyst Mr. Joan Topu said that many of the female staff have given birth at the hospital’s maternity ward and have seen firsthand the challenges faced by other women there.

“Some arrive at the hospital with nothing and have no visitors so after considering these challenges, we decided to support the ward with these basic supplies.”

Meanwhile, Kina Bank Manager International Operations Peter Ikupu said that it is the first CSR activity for the team this year and were honored to support the maternity wing through their donation.

“It is our hope that this donation will support the women, and their babies receive the best possible care.”

“We extend our heartfelt gratitude also to the dedicated healthcare professionals for their service and care.”

Moreover, Friends of POMGen Operations and Communications Manager Grace Roland Minga who received the donation, stated that the donation is timely as they are running out of stock to assist the women.

“This will support mothers and their babies who lack any other assistance. Thank you, Kina Bank.”

The annual donations from Kina Bank staff are a key aspect of their CSR activities and with that, this initiative reflects the staff’s commitment to giving back to the communities where the bank operates.
