The government has announced a list of hospitals across the country designated to process applications for support under the Ghana Medical Trust Fund, popularly known as Mahama Cares, as authorities move to operationalise the healthcare intervention programme.
The Minister of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, stated in a social media post that the Patient Support Programme would initially be implemented through selected hospitals strategically distributed nationwide to guarantee equitable access to healthcare support.
According to him, patients seeking assistance under the fund cannot apply directly at the secretariat, as all applications must be initiated digitally through specialist clinicians at approved hospitals.
He explained that the process was designed to ensure dignity, efficiency and proper medical assessment before support is granted to eligible patients.
“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,” he stated in a Facebook post.
