Mahama Cares administrator calls for stronger financial support for chronic illness patients

The Ghana Medical Trust Fund, popularly known as Mahama Cares, is expected to provide support for eligible patients requiring specialised treatment for chronic non-communicable diseases, while also strengthening healthcare infrastructure and specialist capacity.

The Western Region is the first stop in a nationwide stakeholder engagement by the Ghana Medical Trust Fund, which will subsequently be taken to the remaining 15 regions.

Madam Darko-Opoku also called on businesses and corporate institutions to partner the Fund in supporting patient treatment, medical equipment, infrastructure, specialist training and research.
