Eni Ghana, in collaboration with its OCTP partners \u2013 Vitol Upstream Ghana Ltd (Vitol) and the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC), has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Ghana Health Service (GHS) to reinforce primary healthcare delivery and emergency response systems in the Western Region.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The initiative will improve access to quality healthcare in remote communities, with a strong focus on women and children, benefitting around 180,000 people, with the potential to reach up to 380,000 residents across the region.<\/p>\n

Over the four-year period 2026\u20132029, the initiative will focus on three key priority areas. These include improving access to primary healthcare through the upgrading of facilities, the provision of reliable electricity and safe water, and the enhancement of maternal, newborn and child health services.<\/p>\n

At the same time, it will support the capacity building of healthcare workers in critical areas such as Emergency Obstetric and Newborn Care (EmONC), clinical governance, safe surgery and vaccine cold-chain management.<\/p>\n

The programme will also engage local communities through education initiatives aimed at promoting better practices in water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), waste management, vector control and nutrition, while placing a strong emphasis on increased sustainability through community ownership, with strengthened community-based committees playing a crucial role in ensuring local participation and long-term impact.<\/p>\n

Eni Ghana\u2019s longstanding commitment to strengthening community health is reflected in a series of initiatives spanning more than a decade, contributing to Ghana\u2019s progress toward Universal Health Coverage.<\/p>\n

Eni has been present in Ghana since 2009 with offshore hydrocarbon exploration and production activities, with a present equity production of about 40,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day. The company is the operator of the OCTP project with a 44.4% share in partnership with Vitol (35.6%) and Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (20%). The joint venture\u2019s portfolio of projects also includes initiatives in the areas of training, economic diversification, access to water and sanitation and access to energy.<\/p>\n
