A new health initiative dubbed MahamaCares—the Ghana Medical Trust Fund—has officially been unveiled to offer financial assistance to individuals battling long-term and life-threatening illnesses.

The launch ceremony was held at the University of Ghana Medical Centre (UGMC) in Accra on Tuesday, April 29. The fund is designed to ease the financial burden on patients suffering from chronic conditions, including kidney disease, cancer, and cardiovascular ailments.

The MahamaCares initiative is expected to enhance access to critical treatment for vulnerable groups across the country, providing timely support where medical costs often become a barrier to care.
