Obuobia Darko-Opoku, Administrator of the Ghana Medical Trust Fund (GMTF), briefed Parliament's Majority Caucus Retreat in Ho, Volta Region, on the Fund's life-saving impact. She stated that the Trust Fund had laid a solid institutional foundation and was delivering on its mandate to provide financial relief for patients with chronic non-communicable diseases while strengthening Ghana's healthcare system. She commended Parliament for passing the Ghana Medical Trust Fund Act, describing it as a historic decision that has given hope to thousands of Ghanaians.
The Fund focused on building transparent governance systems, recruiting technical personnel, and developing operational structures. A nationwide needs assessment followed, taking officials to teaching hospitals, regional hospitals, and specialist facilities across Ghana to identify critical equipment and infrastructure gaps. The Fund successfully completed a pilot programme in which 50 patients with chronic non-communicable diseases received life-saving financial support. This exercise enabled the Trust Fund to test patient enrolment, claims processing, provider payments, and digital systems before the nationwide rollout.
