GMTF targets Volta healthcare gaps with equipment, specialist training and patient support

The Ghana Medical Trust Fund (GMTF) is prioritising medical equipment, specialist training and financial support for patients as it works to close gaps in specialised healthcare in the Volta Region.

Speaking on behalf of the Chief Executive Officer of Ho Teaching Hospital, the Medical Director, Dr Emmanuel Kasu, urged the Fund to prioritise the early identification and enrolment of eligible patients, better referral coordination, support to help patients navigate the care process and faster provision of medical equipment.

She explained that the GMTF’s four pillars—financial support for eligible patients, medical equipment and infrastructure, specialist training, and research and innovation—were designed to address both treatment costs and the capacity of health facilities to deliver quality care.
