The Ghana Medical Trust Fund (Mahama Cares) is advancing a bold vision for equitable and compassionate healthcare delivery across the country.
Speaking at the Government Accountability Series, Administrator Adjoa Obuobia Darko-Opoku outlined the Fund’s commitment to providing financial relief and world-class specialised healthcare for Ghanaians, while strengthening the nation’s medical infrastructure and specialist capacity.
She noted that the Fund complements the work of the National Health Insurance Authority and is financed through a combination of NHIL allocations, government support, grants, investments, and voluntary contributions.
The nationwide patient support programme is set to officially roll out in June 2026 following a successful pilot phase that tested patient onboarding, treatment monitoring, and claims management systems.
The Trust Fund has also partnered with the Ghana College of Physicians and Surgeons, as well as nursing and pharmacy institutions, to decentralise specialist training and equip more healthcare professionals in oncology, cardiology, nephrology, endocrinology, and neurology.
Additionally, critical medical equipment including dialysis machines, ICU beds, and patient monitors have been distributed to selected health facilities across the country to enhance quality healthcare delivery.
