President John Dramani Mahama is leading by example by giving up half of his annual salary to support healthcare in Ghana through the Ghana Medical Trust Fund.

The move aims to bolster medical services and improve access to quality healthcare for patients battling chronic and life-threatening illnesses.

Mr Mahama made the pledge on Wednesday, April 29, as he launched the government's Ghana Medical Trust Fund, also known as Mahama Cares.

Mahama Cares aims to provide dedicated financial support to individuals suffering from chronic and debilitating illnesses.
