The Government has announced that 27 health facilities across Ghana are now actively providing specialised healthcare services under the Ghana Medical Trust Fund, popularly known as “MahamaCares.”
Speaking at the Government’s Accountability Series on Monday, Administrator of the Fund, Madam Adjoa Obuobia Darko-Opoku, said the initiative was established to mobilise resources to support Ghanaians battling chronic illnesses such as cancer, kidney disease and other specialised medical conditions.
She explained that the programme is already operational, with selected teaching hospitals, regional hospitals, municipal hospitals and private health facilities enrolled to ensure patients across the country can access treatment without travelling long distances.
The participating facilities include major referral centres such as Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, Cape Coast Teaching Hospital, Tamale Teaching Hospital, Ho Teaching Hospital, and Sunyani Teaching Hospital, alongside regional facilities such as Effia Nkwanta Regional Hospital, Greater Accra Regional Hospital, Eastern Regional Hospital, and Volta Regional Hospital.
Other enrolled facilities include University of Ghana Medical Centre, 37 Military Hospital, International Maritime Hospital, The Bank Hospital, Trust Specialist Hospital, Aisha Hospital, Holy Family Hospital in Techiman, Baptist Medical Centre, and several municipal hospitals across the country.
Officials say the nationwide rollout is expected to improve access to specialised healthcare services and reduce the financial burden on patients requiring long-term treatment.
