Ghana: Yango teams up with Beaver Health Group to launch “Wellness on Wheels” for drivers and couriers

Yango, a global tech company’s ride-hailing and mobility service, has teamed up with Beaver Health to offer subsidized healthcare and wellness services to its partners, drivers, couriers, and their families in Ghana.

Named “Wellness on Wheels,” the partnership was officially launched on August 28, 2024, at a signing ceremony at Beaver Clinic in Accra, where Yango’s partners, drivers, and couriers received free health screenings and medical consultations.

Tom Ofonime, Yango’s Country Manager in Ghana, highlighted the company’s dedication to ensuring regular access to health and wellness services for all its drivers and couriers as part of the #YangoCares initiative, which aims to improve the lives of Ghanaians through technology.

He said “We are proud to partner with Beaver Health to launch the ‘’Wellness on Wheels’’ program for our Yango Partners, partner drivers, couriers and their families. At Yango, we believe in supporting the well-being of all our key stakeholders and this program is a testament to our commitment to their health and wellness.”

Through the ‘’Wellness on Wheels’’ program, Yango Partners will have the opportunity to access a wide range of health services provided by Beaver Health at discounted rates. These services are always available to the partners, drivers and couriers and  include regular health check-ups, consultations with healthcare professionals, and preventive screenings to help maintain and improve overall health. Some of the checks and services provided include thorough health check up, eye screening, physiotherapist assessment, dental screening, mental health assessment, and musculoskeletal training.

The partners, partner drivers, and couriers who participate in the program will not only have access to discounted health services, but they will also have the opportunity to receive personalized health recommendations and guidance to help them lead a healthier lifestyle. By prioritizing their health and happiness, the company demonstrates its care and respect for the vital role they play in the community, which in turn strengthens the collective success.

“The partnership with Yango is invaluable to us, as we aim to deliver holistic healthcare to these essential members of our society who provide critical transportation services. It’s crucial for us to offer the partner, partner drivers, couriers and their families high-quality service through our bespoke 360-degree healthcare solutions, ensuring they receive the assurance and support they need for long-term well-being” said Mr. Obi Ilogu, CEO of Beaver Health Group
