Mahama reaffirms healthcare commitment as Global Mercy begins 10-month Ghana mission

The president said the government was expanding free primary healthcare, investing in hospitals and health workers, and using the Ghana Medical Trust Fund to help ease the financial burden of serious non-communicable diseases on families.

The President’s comments come as the Global Mercy continues its medical mission in Ghana, offering specialised treatment to patients while providing opportunities for local health workers to gain additional training and experience.

The president expressed his gratitude to the medical team, volunteers, donors, local partners and supporters of Mercy Ships for their contribution to the organisation’s humanitarian work in Ghana.
