Families still selling homes, exhausting savings to pay for specialised care – GMTF Administrator

Ms Darko-Opoku was speaking at “One Year On – An Evening of Reflection”, organised by the GMTF to mark its first year of operations and engage specialist doctors, medical directors and other stakeholders on the future of specialised healthcare in Ghana.” For the Fund, the ultimate goal is to build a healthcare system where families do not have to sell their homes, borrow beyond their means or exhaust a lifetime of savings simply because a loved one needs specialised medical care.

Families are still selling homes, disposing of property, borrowing heavily and exhausting their life savings to pay for specialised medical treatment, Administrator of the Ghana Medical Trust Fund (GMTF), Adjoa Obuobia Darko-Opoku, has disclosed.
