The Presidency has donated GH¢6,102,737.80 to the Ghana Medical Trust Fund as part of efforts to support patients suffering from serious non-communicable diseases and to improve access to specialist healthcare across the country.
The donation forms part of a pledge made by President John Dramani Mahama and staff of the Presidency, aimed at strengthening national solidarity in addressing the growing burden of costly medical conditions such as cancer, kidney disease, and other life-threatening illnesses.
Presenting the cheque, the Deputy Chief of Staff (Administration), Nana Oye Bampoe Addo, said the initiative reflects a shared responsibility to support vulnerable citizens who are often unable to afford essential treatment without financial assistance.
She emphasized the need for collective national support, urging individuals, institutions, and corporate organisations to contribute towards the sustainability of the fund, noting that healthcare challenges require a united response.
Receiving the donation, the Administrator of the Ghana Medical Trust Fund, Adjoa Obuobia Darko-Opoku, expressed appreciation to the Presidency, describing the gesture as a strong demonstration of leadership, compassion, and commitment to the welfare of Ghanaians in need.
