The Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) has donated GH₵2million to the Ghana Medical Trust Fund (“MahamaCares”).
The support is to strengthen healthcare delivery and combat the growing burden of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) in Ghana.
Mr. Richard Nunekpeku, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the GoldBod, reaffirmed GoldBod’s confidence in the vision of President John Dramani Mahama and the leadership of the Fund.
“We are convinced of the foresight behind MahamaCares and the capacity of its administrators to deliver on its mission and to use the resources effectively in furtherance of this noble vision, the reason why we are making this donation,” he said.
Mr. Nunekpeku called on other state and corporate institutions to join forces in supporting this laudable initiative aimed at dealing with the specific challenges of chronic diseases care in Ghana.
Madam Obuobia Darko Opoku, Administrator of the MahamaCares Fund, underscored the urgent healthcare gaps revealed by a recent needs assessment.
The study identified severe shortages of essential medical equipment across major facilities in Accra.
She assured that the Fund was committed to addressing these deficits, adding that “Our focus is to equip health institutions with the tools needed to provide quality care for patients battling non-communicable diseases.”
This donation by the Ghana Gold Board marks a bold step towards strengthening Ghana’s health infrastructure.
Beyond financial assistance, the donation reflects a shared responsibility and collective resolve to secure better health outcomes for all Ghanaians.
