- The 2021 Ecobank Day focused on Mental Health, and helping to reduce stigma and discrimination.
The events for the 2021 Ecobank Day were held mostly virtually, to ensure continued safety from Covid-19. At Ecobank Tanzania activities and initiatives for Ecobank Day 2021 include providing education on mental health to Ecobank Tanzania staff in partnership with ARIS Risk and Insurance services, we donated patients gowns and chairs to mental health ward at Muhimbili National hospital.
Mr. Charles Asiedu, Managing Director Ecobank Tanzania, said: ‘All of us at Ecobank Tanzania are determined to raise awareness and help prevent mental health issues, which can affect anyone. There are still a lot of misconceptions about mental health here in Tanzania. It’s very important to openly talk about mental health without the feeling of stigmatization or taboo. We used Ecobank Day 2021 to get these messages across to as many people as possible. Now is the time to talk and act on mental health!”
Ecobank Day is an annual event which was first held in 2013, focusing each year on a specific theme. These have been Education for young people in Africa (2013); Malaria prevention and control (2014); Every African child deserves a better future (2015); ICT education in schools and improving maternal health (2016); Safe water management (2017); Orphanages (2018); Cancer (2019); and Diabetes (2020).
