No family should lose everything to save a loved one – GMTF administrator

She said the Fund’s work is anchored on four areas: financial support for eligible patients requiring specialised treatment for chronic non-communicable diseases; investment in medical equipment and health infrastructure; support for specialist training; and research and innovation.

Western Regional Minister Joseph Nelson welcomed the initiative, describing the establishment of the GMTF as an important policy response to the financial difficulties families face when serious illnesses occur.
