The Ghana Medical Trust Fund (GMTF) has held high-level engagements with senior officials of the Ministry of Defence, the Ghana Armed Forces, board members of Defence Industries Holding Company Limited (DIHOC), and representatives of Care 9 Global to discuss plans for the construction of a comprehensive cancer and multi-speciality healthcare facility.

The meeting provided a platform for the Ghana Armed Forces to present proposals for advanced oncology infrastructure, including a specialised cancer treatment hospital, enhanced diagnostic and research services, and a technology-driven pharmaceutical supply chain model aimed at strengthening cancer care delivery nationwide.

During the engagement, the Ghana Medical Trust Fund outlined its mandate to finance care for chronic non-communicable diseases and shared updates on initiatives undertaken since its establishment.

Discussions also identified areas of alignment, particularly on improving access to cancer care once the proposed facility becomes operational, with the Fund indicating its willingness to explore appropriate partnership opportunities as the project progresses.
