The initiative is aimed at easing the financial burden of medical care for Ghanaians, particularly those suffering from chronic and life-threatening illnesses such as kidney disease, liver disease, hypertension, and cardiac conditions.
The fund is part of President Mahama’s broader health and social protection agenda as he seeks a return to the presidency in the 2024 elections.
It also underscores his commitment to accessible and affordable healthcare, especially for vulnerable populations who are often unable to afford prolonged or specialised treatment.
The launch at UGMC, one of Ghana’s most advanced medical facilities, is symbolic of the potential partnership between public health infrastructure and policy-driven interventions to improve healthcare delivery across the country.
