Ghana: Vivo Energy Ghana Supports Children’s Health

Vivo Energy Ghana PLC, the exclusive distributor and marketer of Shell-branded fuels and lubricants in Ghana, has donated syringe and infusion pumps to the Department of Child Health at Korle Bu Teaching Hospital as part of its annual Energising Hope initiative.

The donation, made on February 23, 2026, aims to improve healthcare outcomes for children and support vulnerable communities.

The equipment will enable the hospital to automate the precise delivery of fluids, medication, and nutrients, allowing healthcare professionals to treat young patients more effectively.

This is particularly significant for the facility, which handles high patient volumes and often faces challenges in accessing essential medical equipment.

Vivo Energy Ghana’s Managing Director, Christian Li, emphasized the company’s commitment to supporting communities.

“At Vivo Energy Ghana, ‘caring’ is not just a value we talk about; it is a value we live. Energising Hope reminds us that our role as a responsible corporate entity goes beyond providing energy solutions. It is about touching lives, supporting communities, and showing compassion where it is needed most.

Children represent the promise of tomorrow, and we are honoured to contribute to their healing journey and overall well-being,” he said.

The initiative also brought joy to young patients and their families, as Vivo Energy Ghana employees visited the children’s ward with roses and chocolates.

The ward was filled with smiles and laughter as the children welcomed the surprise gifts, while parents and guardians expressed appreciation for the thoughtful gesture.

Paediatric oncologist Ernestina Schandorf expressed gratitude for the timely donation, noting that it would significantly strengthen the department’s capacity to deliver quality healthcare.

“The syringe and infusion pumps will enable us to treat young patients more effectively, ultimately improving the quality of healthcare delivery for children receiving treatment,” she said.

The Energising Hope initiative reflects Vivo Energy Ghana’s vision to be Africa’s leading and most respected energy business, combining operational excellence with meaningful community engagement. The company has maintained a strong track record of supporting communities, and the donation underscores its commitment to making a positive social impact.

Vivo Energy Ghana has operated in the country since 2013 and maintains a strong presence in the downstream energy sector, with a fuels storage capacity of 11,000 cubic metres and about 250 service stations nationwide, many of which offer Shell Cards and convenience retail services.

The donation has been welcomed by hospital authorities and the wider community and is expected to make a significant difference in the lives of children receiving treatment.
