In a powerful demonstration of corporate responsibility and national engagement, Sierra Leone Commercial Bank Limited (SLCB) emerged as a key stakeholder at the 2025 National Health Summit and Performance Awards. The event, held from May 15–17 at the Freetown International Conference Centre in Aberdeen, gathered healthcare leaders, policymakers, and development partners under the theme “Improving Health Outcomes for All: Every Sierra Leonean Matters.”
SLCB’s active participation underscored its commitment to a holistic vision of national development—where health and economic empowerment move in tandem. Far beyond a financial presence, the bank delivered meaningful community impact through its Mi Yone Tellers—mobile banking agents who provided real-time cashier services and financial education to attendees.
This initiative was more than a convenience—it was a statement of purpose. By placing banking services directly in the hands of health professionals and frontline workers, SLCB bridged the gap between financial access and public service delivery, reinforcing the critical link between economic security and health outcomes.
“Our presence at the summit is driven by a broader mission,” said an SLCB representative. “We believe that economic empowerment is foundational to a resilient healthcare system. That’s why we’re not just here to provide services—we’re here to be partners in progress.”
Throughout the summit, SLCB engaged with key figures from the Ministry of Health and Sanitation, the donor community, and the private sector, exploring future collaborations aimed at building sustainable systems and healthier communities.
The bank’s role at the summit reflects its ongoing strategy of aligning core operations with national priorities. By integrating innovation, accessibility, and social impact, SLCB is redefining what it means to be a financial institution in Sierra Leone today.
With a renewed call for partnerships and community-driven initiatives, Sierra Leone Commercial Bank continues to lead by example—proving that banking can be a catalyst for wellness, inclusion, and national transformation.
At SLCB, service to the nation is not just a goal—it’s a guiding principle. Together, we move toward a future where opportunity and wellbeing go hand in hand.
