Resources Intermediaries Limited Ghana (RIL) has marked its 15th anniversary with a donation to the Usher Hospital in Accra to support patients who are unable to settle their medical bills after receiving treatment.
The donation, presented on behalf of the management of the company, is intended to help settle minor medical bills for needy patients who may otherwise face difficulties leaving the facility because they cannot afford the cost of treatment.
Although the amount donated was not disclosed, the company said the gesture formed part of its commitment to giving back to communities and supporting vulnerable people as it celebrates 15 years of operations.
Presenting the donation, the Managing Director of Resources Intermediaries Limited, Emmanuel Boateng, said the initiative was inspired by the challenges some patients face in finding money to settle their bills after receiving medical care.
According to him, the inability to pay medical bills could become an additional source of worry for patients and their families at a time when their primary concern should be recovery.
He said the company therefore considered it appropriate to use its anniversary celebration as an opportunity to extend support to people in need.
Mr Boateng explained that the donation reflected the company’s broader philosophy of contributing to society and making a meaningful difference in the communities within which it operates.
Receiving the donation on behalf of the hospital, Dr Philomina Bonsu, Specialist Doctor and Sub-Municipal Director at the Usher Hospital, expressed appreciation to Resources Intermediaries Limited for the support.
She said the donation would go a long way towards assisting patients who genuinely struggle to settle their medical bills, particularly those within the community where the hospital is located.
Dr Bonsu noted that some patients encounter financial difficulties after treatment, making assistance from corporate organisations and other stakeholders particularly important.
She therefore appealed to more corporate institutions, businesses and individuals to support the hospital whenever the need arises.
She said such interventions could complement the hospital’s efforts to provide healthcare services to members of the community and ensure that financial difficulties do not become an additional burden for vulnerable patients.
Reflecting on the company’s 15-year journey, Mr Boateng described the growth of Resources Intermediaries Limited Ghana as a story of resilience, innovation and determination.
He said the company started operations with just five employees but had since expanded into a nationwide human resources service provider.
He acknowledged that the journey had not been without difficulties, particularly during the early years of the business.
“Like every startup, the journey was not easy. We went through difficult moments, but by the grace of God, we have overcome those initial challenges,” he said.
Mr Boateng attributed the company’s progress largely to the commitment and dedication of its employees, who, he said, had consistently worked to meet organisational targets and maintain the company’s standards.
He commended the workforce for their contribution to the company’s growth and said their commitment remained critical to the organisation’s ability to provide quality services to clients across the country.
The Managing Director also spoke about some of the challenges the company encountered during its 15-year journey.
He said the COVID-19 pandemic affected businesses across the country, with Resources Intermediaries Limited also experiencing the impact of the disruptions associated with the pandemic.
He further cited high foreign exchange rates as another challenge that affected business operations and planning.
Despite these difficulties, Mr Boateng said the company had successfully navigated the challenges and remained financially strong.
He said the ability of the company to withstand such difficult periods demonstrated the resilience of its business model and the determination of its management and staff.
Looking ahead, Mr Boateng called for a stable macroeconomic environment to enable businesses to plan effectively, expand their operations and grow sustainably.
He said recent improvements in inflation and exchange-rate stability were encouraging and expressed optimism that the trend would continue.
According to him, businesses require predictability in the economic environment to make sound investment and operational decisions.
“A stable economy will enable businesses to make reliable projections, expand their operations and continue delivering quality services to customers,” he said.
He said Resources Intermediaries Limited remained committed to its operations and would continue to explore opportunities to improve its services while contributing to the communities in which it operates.
Meanwhile, Dorcas Beeko Mangesi, Executive Director of Business Development, expressed appreciation to the company’s Board for its guidance, coaching and support over the years.
In an interview with veteran broadcaster Victor Morrison, she said the Board had played an important role in shaping the organisation and helping management and staff improve their working conditions and professional development.
She also commended the company’s employees for their dedication and commitment.
According to her, staff members had continued to work day and night to deliver on their responsibilities and ensure that Resources Intermediaries Limited remained competitive in the human resources sector.
She said the company’s 15th anniversary was therefore not only an opportunity to celebrate its achievements but also to recognise the people whose collective efforts had contributed to its growth.
The anniversary celebration thus combined a reflection on Resources Intermediaries Limited’s evolution over the past 15 years with a social intervention aimed at supporting vulnerable patients at the Usher Hospital.
The company said it remained committed to strengthening its operations, supporting its workforce and contributing to society as it enters the next phase of its development.
