The Ghana Medical Trust Fund has launched a nationwide specialist training programme aimed at addressing critical healthcare workforce shortages and expanding access to specialised treatment across the country.
As part of the initiative, the Fund signed partnership agreements with the Ghana College of Physicians and Surgeons, Ghana College of Pharmacists and Ghana College of Nurses and Midwives to train more health professionals. Administrator Adjoa Obuobia Darko-Opoku presented funding support for the training of 100 pharmacists, 100 nurses and a new group of specialist doctors.
She said the long-term goal is to deploy at least three specialist doctors, nurses and pharmacists to every region within the next three years, particularly to improve care for patients battling chronic and non-communicable diseases. According to her, the programme marks a major shift toward practical healthcare reforms focused on building a stronger and more resilient health system.
