The Minority in has raised concerns over the newly passed Ghana Medical Trust Fund Bill, 2025, popularly known as the MahamaCares Programme.
According to the Minority, the policy risks competing with or undermining the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) unless critical issues are addressed.
The bill, passed on Tuesday, July 22, 2025, under a certificate of urgency, aims to establish a dedicated fund to support specialized medical care for chronic and life-threatening conditions such as cancer, stroke, kidney failure, and diabetes.
However, the Minority, led by the Ranking Member of the Health Committee, Dr. , has called for greater clarity to prevent overlap with the NHIA's mandate and ensure sustainable financing.
