MahamaCares seeks Ga Mantse’s support to expand access for chronic disease patients

The Administrator of the Ghana Medical Trust Fund (MahamaCares), Obuobia Darko-Opoku, has appealed to the Ga Mantse, King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, to support efforts to increase public awareness of the Fund so that more Ghanaians living with chronic non-communicable diseases can access financial assistance for treatment.

She explained that beyond providing financial assistance to patients with chronic non-communicable diseases, the Ghana Medical Trust Fund also supports the acquisition of critical medical equipment, the improvement of health infrastructure, specialist medical training and research aimed at strengthening healthcare delivery nationwide.

Mrs Darko-Opoku said the Ghana Medical Trust Fund was established to ensure that no Ghanaian is denied treatment for chronic illnesses such as cancer, kidney disease and heart disease because of financial constraints.
