Parliament has approved the Ghana Medical Trust Fund Bill, 2025, also known as the MahamaCares Fund, following a contentious debate and resolution on Tuesday, July 22, 2025.
The approval marks a major step toward establishing a dedicated fund to support Ghanaians suffering from chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as cancer, diabetes, kidney failure, and stroke.
Addressing the press after the House's approval, the Minister for Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, described the operationalization of the Fund as a critical relief for Ghanaians battling NCDs.
He urged citizens and corporate institutions to continue contributing to sustain the Fund's operations.
