BOSTenergies has pledged GH¢1 million to the Ghana Medical Trust Fund (GMTF) in a move aimed at expanding access to specialised healthcare for patients suffering from chronic and life-threatening illnesses.
The contribution is expected to strengthen the Fund’s capacity to finance treatment for patients who cannot afford specialised medical care and support critical interventions for vulnerable families facing high healthcare costs.
Presenting the donation, Managing Director of BOSTenergies, Afetsi Awoonor, said the company’s support reflected its commitment to improving healthcare outcomes and promoting equitable access to medical treatment.
“Healthcare is one of the greatest investments any nation can make. At BOSTenergies, we believe every Ghanaian deserves the opportunity to receive quality medical care regardless of their financial circumstances,” he said.
Mr Awoonor described the donation as an investment in the health and future of the country and urged other companies to support the Trust Fund.
“This contribution is not simply a donation but an investment in lives, families and the future of our nation. We encourage Corporate Ghana to come on board because together we can transform healthcare and ensure that no patient is denied treatment because of cost,” he added.
Receiving the cheque, Administrator of the Ghana Medical Trust Fund, Adjoa Obuobia Darko-Opoku, thanked BOSTenergies for supporting the Fund’s mission to improve access to specialised healthcare.
She said the donation would directly benefit patients requiring treatment for chronic diseases and provide relief to families struggling with expensive medical bills.
“This generous donation will translate directly into lives saved. It will help us support more patients requiring specialised treatment for chronic diseases, provide hope to families who have exhausted every option, and strengthen our efforts to ensure that quality healthcare is accessible to all Ghanaians,” she said.
Ms Obuobia Darko-Opoku emphasised the importance of partnerships between the public and private sectors in strengthening healthcare financing and expanding treatment opportunities for patients across the country.
She also encouraged businesses, institutions and individuals to contribute to the Trust Fund, noting that donations are 100 per cent tax-deductible, allowing organisations to support healthcare while benefiting from available tax incentives.
The donation underscores the increasing role of corporate organisations in supporting sustainable healthcare financing and improving access to specialised medical treatment in Ghana.
