The Ghana Medical Trust Fund has provided GH¢1,141,500 to support life-saving heart surgeries for eight children receiving treatment at the National Cardiothoracic Centre of the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital.
Of the eight cases, five children from across the country have recently been referred to Korle Bu and are now preparing for urgent cardiothoracic surgeries.
The children come from the Northern, Savannah, Bono East, Western North, Western and Greater Accra regions, highlighting the nationwide reach of the Fund’s intervention.
These young patients, who under normal circumstances would be in classrooms and playgrounds, require immediate surgical attention. The Ghana Medical Trust Fund’s support has brought renewed hope to their families.
The assistance is part of 50 pilot cases being handled ahead of the Fund’s full rollout in April.
Through this pilot phase, the Ghana Medical Trust Fund is ensuring that critically ill patients—especially children who may otherwise be turned away due to cost—can access timely and essential medical care.
At the Ghana Medical Trust Fund, care is more than a promise—it is a commitment in action. We care, and truly, Mahama cares.
