Mahama launches ‘Mahama Cares’

Adwoa Obuobia Darko-Opoku, the Administrator of the Ghana Medical Trust Fund, commonly known as MahamaCares, has disclosed a list of 27 hospitals nationwide, where patients can access support.

She disclosed that the hospitals were strategically selected to ensure equitable access to specialised healthcare services for Ghanaians nationwide.

Speaking during the Government Accountability Series at the Presidency on Monday, 11 May, Adwoa Obuobia Darko-Opoku stated, “The Patient Support Programme will initially be delivered through twenty-nine enlisted hospitals strategically distributed across the country to ensure equitable access for all Ghanaians”.

Some of the selected facilities include the Korle Bu, Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, Tamale Teaching Hospital, Ho Teaching Hospital, Cape Coast Teaching Hospital, Sunyani Teaching Hospital, and the University of Ghana Medical Centre, among others.

The full list can be seen in a photo under the article.

Adwoa Obuobia Darko-Opoku revealed that the Trust Fund has developed a digital platform to help in patient registration, clinical auditing, and claims processing.

She further disclosed that trained patient navigators have been deployed to support patients and their families through the process.

Also, Adjoa Obuobia Darko-Opoku has stated that the Fund will not support patients seeking medical treatment outside Ghana.

 She revealed that the Mahama Cares fund has recently come under increasing pressure, with persons appealing for funding to seek treatment abroad.

Adjoa Obuobia Darko-Opoku disclosed that the governing law that established the Fund restricts its mandate to supporting free treatment for non-communicable diseases in Ghana.

Speaking at the Government Accountability Series on Monday, May 11, she said, “There is something that we keep getting. Many people want funding to go abroad. Let me announce here, and now, we do not support any funding out of the borders of this country.

“That money that we spend for one patient to go to India for treatment, we can use that for about 20 patients in the country. Anything beyond the borders as stipulated in the Act is beyond us,” she said.

Also, for one to benefit from support under the Trust Fund, an applicant must meet three basic eligibility requirements.

The applicant must be a Ghanaian citizen, an active NHIS card bearer, and must have a medical condition that falls within the approved conditions supported under the Fund.
