The Executive Chairman of the First Sky Group, Eric Seddy Kutortse, has donated a sizeable sum of money—more than GH13 million—over the past six years to support the 25% of Ghanaians who are dependent on dialysis owing to kidney failure.

He explained to journalists in Accra that he felt the need to relieve some of these people's financial burdens, thus he decided that ongoing help for such individuals was now necessary.

Eric Kutortse further emphasized that his support was only motivated by the need to help humanity, as opposed to that of other individuals who do so based on their own personal experiences or because of some odd connections they have with patients who have similar medical conditions.

He revealed that the Bible is the source of his inspiration when speaking to journalists at an occasion at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, where the nation's first all Ghanaian medical team successfully performed kidney transplants.

“The main motivation about all this in our Holy Book. The Bible says that we should have compassion on our fellow beings. And then more so, we have been privileged in the positions that we are able to create wealth and we believe this world is not meant for us alone.

“It has to go to support the kingdom work, it has to go in to support humanity, and that is the reason we believe God has blessed us with these resources, and that is what we are doing,” he stated.

The executive chairman of First Sky Group also expressed his happiness over Ghana's medical industry's progress, noting that even though he has continued to help these sick individuals over the years, the cost of care is rising.

He also mentioned how he has personally paid for a couple people's medical trips to India, where they would have otherwise had to pay hundreds of dollars in fees.
