LEADING financial services institution, Stanbic Bank Zimbabwe, has launched a health sector value proposition aimed at contributing significantly to the health and well-being of Zimbabweans.
The health sector value proposition, which was launched in Harare recently, is a suite of solutions which will enable health sector practitioners to focus on the wellbeing of their patients while the bank looks after their financial wellbeing.
Speaking at the launch, Stanbic Bank’s chief financial officer Tafadzwa Mahachi said the suite of solutions was a result of the realisation of the importance of the health sector to the economy.
Stanbic’s dedication to the health sector was well complemented by the institution’s partnership with Zhejiang International Trading Supply Chain Co. Ltd (which trades as Guomao in China) under the Africa China Trade Import Solution.
“Stanbic Bank’s partnership with Guomao through the Africa China Trade Import Solution has been pivotal in ensuring that health sector players intending to import consumables and equipment from China are matched to suppliers and manufacturers,” he said.
“As a financial services institution, we are intentional in going beyond banking to offer holistic banking solutions for the health sector through a well-thought-out health sector value proposition.”
He said the bank was committed to taking care of its clients in the health sector’s financing and financial wellness so that they only focus on the wellbeing of their patients.
Guomao managing director Chaofeng Deng said the entity was committed to building a trustworthy bridge between Africa and China cognisant of the fact that industrialisation was the key to economic growth for Zimbabwe.
