We are back on the road this week, assessing the readiness of designated regional hospitals in Ghana’s newly created regions ahead of our official rollout in April.
So far, the Ghana Medical Trust Fund has completed engagements with all Teaching Hospitals and Regional Hospitals across the country, except those in the new regions, which are now firmly in focus.
This morning, our team, led by Health Policy Advisor Dr. Norbert Kipo, visited the Sefwi Wiawso Government Hospital to experience first-hand what the service delivery gaps are in the management of patients living with chronic non-communicable diseases, in line with our mandate.
At the Ghana Medical Trust Fund, our commitment is clear: no patient, no district, and no region will be left behind. We are working to ensure that no Ghanaian is denied life-saving NCD care simply because of cost.
The Ghana Medical Trust Fund, an initiative of President John Dramani Mahama was established to provide financial support for Ghanaians battling serious and costly chronic illnesses such as cancer, kidney failure, and heart disease conditions that are not covered under the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS).
