Meridian Port Services Ltd (MPS) has taken a significant step in prioritising the health and well-being of its employees by inaugurating an on-site medical clinic within the Terminal premises. This in-house clinic represents an important step towards offering our valued staff a comprehensive and accessible healthcare experience.
Welcoming the staff, the Human Resource Transformation Manager, Madam Julia Acquah described the development as a step further to enhance employee wellbeing.
“We have partnered with Nationwide Medical Insurance to establish this as part of the company’s programme dedicated towards employee health and wellbeing. The newly opened clinic provides primary care services and preventive care along with needed medication. Our aim is to grow a healthy, safe, and highly skilled workforce while providing the best level of customer service”.
Mr. Issac Nartey, the Business Development Manager of Nationwide Medical Insurance said: “At Nationwide Medical Insurance, we have embraced innovation, which combined with our expertise, has enabled us to ensure that medical excellence is at the core of everything we do. We are very proud to partner with an organization like MPS, that cares for its team. With this new partnership, Nationwide will focus on bettering the staff’s well-being and creating a healthier workspace at reduced cost.
Executives of the Workers Union, Mr. Owen Kumi and Mr. Rockson Akumba applauded MPS Management for work done.
“Management has over the years introduced beneficial initiatives that have improved our working environment. This is another great project that has been undertaken.

During the clinic’s opening ceremony, the Chief Executive Officer of MPS, Mr. Mohamed Samara, applauded the HR Team for their pivotal role in establishing this facility and elucidated on its necessity. He emphasized, “Our employees’ health and safety have always been paramount for our organization. It is reassuring to know that, as we diligently carry out our duties, there is a fully equipped facility within the same building staffed by qualified professionals to attend to our medical needs.
