Ms Georgina Fiagbennu, Corporate Communication Senior Manager of MTN, has said the support given to those under the health sector is purely need based and opened to all.
She said poor people with cases of cancer, cardiovascular concerns like a hole in heart among others could be supported under the sector.
Speaking at an Editors’ forum organized for journalists in Bolgatanga, Ms Georgina Fiagbennu, said the Network only needed a certification to ensure that the cases were genuine.
She said MTN has invested about 10 million Ghana cedis in social support ventures and was currently supporting communities in the areas of health, education and social activities like festivals and the Uncle Ebo Whyte stakeholder road show.
Ms Fiagbennu said MTN was also venturing into economic empowerment to help people grow their business and improve their livelihood under its Alternative livelihood Project saying it recently donated 150 tricycles to the physically challenged in Bolgatanga.
It is also establishing ICT centres in Tamale and Bolgatanga to help the youth acquire knowledge of the world's latest technology.
She said there had been 398 fiber cuts so far this year as compared to 140 cuts last year due to road constructions and the carelessness of some contractors who did not bother about preserving other objects they encounter and this has led to the disturbance in traffic flow for MTN's clients.
Ms Fiagbennu appealed to all road contractors to avoid cutting the fibers as that not only affects the Network but also individuals who use MTN daily for important communication needs.
She said Network has introduced a Vehicle tracking system which enables the user to know the location of the car at any given time and this can help protect and trace stolen vehicles when the need arises.
