Access Bank (Ghana) Plc has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) to strengthen collaboration under the Partnership to End Obstetric Fistula in Ghana. The partnership marks a significant step in Access Bank Ghana’s long-running campaign against obstetric fistula, with both institutions aiming to expand access to corrective surgeries, intensify public awareness and mobilise sustainable funding to eliminate the condition. He described the fund as a transparent and structured platform that would enable individuals, institutions and corporate organisations to contribute towards surgeries and rehabilitation for women affected by obstetric fistula. The Deputy Representative of UNFPA Ghana, Dr Emmily Naphambo, commended Access Bank for renewing its commitment, stressing that collaboration between government, development partners and the private sector remained essential to ending obstetric fistula. She explained that obstetric fistula, a childbirth-related injury, had far-reaching consequences beyond physical health, affecting women’s dignity, livelihoods and social inclusion.
