Sustainable Development: Health

Employee Health

At Guinea Alumina Corporation we deliver targeted health programs for employees.

We have established and are continuing to implement a Malaria Management Plan, Occupational Health and Hygiene Program, Medical Services Program and a HIV/AIDS Management Plan to address and manage the health of all employees.

Further training and education programs will be developed to ensure employees are aware of precautions and actions to take to enhance their health.

To ensure appropriate medical services for all employees within Guinea, GAC has established on-site medical services, including the ability to effect medical evacuation of critically ill patients if necessary.

Future project activity includes the establishment of fully equipped and professionally staffed medical services at the port and refinery sites.

Community Health

Our approach to community health is underpinned by our desire to support a healthy community, which for generations to come will be the source of healthy and valuable employees.

Some initiatives being implemented by GAC include malaria vector control spraying and HIV/AIDS awareness training. In addition GAC has contributed to community health through the construction of four new health posts and training of health professionals.
