MeDirect Bank Malta and its employees recently came together to support Cressida Galea, the bank’s Head of Regulatory Affairs and Sustainability, on her missionary work at the HopeXChange Medical Center in Kumasi, Ghana.

The journey to what is known locally as the ‘Maltese Hospital’ was part of the ongoing efforts by HopeXChange to provide state of the art medical care to patients suffering from conditions frequently found in sub-Saharan Africa and Central America, regardless of their economic means or gender. These efforts have, over many years, been supported by financial contributions and volunteer support from Malta.

In supporting Cressida’s visit to Ghana, MeDirect employees organised fundraising initiatives, with the amount raised being doubled by the bank. Speaking about her experience in Ghana, Cressida said, “Missionary work has always been close to my heart. I feel very privileged of having had the opportunity to complete the missionary work with HopeXChange, which is an organisation that delivers hands-on support to communities in real need, leaving a positive impact on the hundreds of lives. Access to healthcare and education are fundamental human rights and I thank my colleagues at MeDirect who have supported me in making my own small contribution to this important cause.”
