The Ghana Medical Trust Fund proudly joined the launch of Ghana’s Free Primary Healthcare initiative; a bold step toward accessible, people-centered care for all, and a critical move toward achieving universal health coverage.
We extend our sincere congratulations to the Minister for Health, Hon. Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, the National Health Insurance Authority led by Dr Victor Asare Bampoe , and the Free Primary Healthcare Planning Committee for the successful rollout of this important programme.
We also respectfully acknowledge H.E. John Dramani Mahama, the visionary leader behind this initiative, who officially launched it at the Shai-Osudoku District Hospital.
Administrator of the Ghana Medical Trust Fund, Adjoa Obuobia Darko-Opoku, represented the Fund.
This transformative programme removes cost barriers at the first point of care, making essential health services free while prioritizing prevention, early detection, and timely treatment across Ghana.
By participating, the Ghana Medical Trust Fund reinforces its commitment to easing the burden of healthcare, especially for those facing chronic conditions. It marks a powerful step toward a healthier nation; where care is not a privilege, but a right.
