President John Dramani Mahama on Thursday promised to launch a Medical Care Trust, also to be known as “Mahama Cares,” to assist individuals with chronic diseases like kidney disease, liver disease, high blood pressure and cardiac problems.
“This Ghana Medical Care Trust Fund would assist in alleviating the cost of treatment,” the President stated in Cape Coast at a grand durbar of the Chiefs and People of the Central Region during his Thank You Tour of the Region.
The nationwide tour, which began on Friday, 24 January, in Ho, the Volta Regional Capital, is to enable the President to express his sincere appreciation to the people of Ghana for the overwhelming support and trust reposed in him at the 2024 elections.
The President on Wednesday, 5 February, addressed a similar durbar in Sekondi for the Western Region.
Speaking at the Jubilee Park in Cape Coast, President Mahama said his government would continue to improve the nation’s hospitals and continue to improve all levels of the healthcare system.
He reiterated that the government was going to uncap the National Health Insurance Levy to enable the Authority to access the full amount of the levy for the payment of treatment of illness by facilities to people holding the National Health Insurance Card.
Odeefo Amoakwa Buadu VIII, Omanhene of Breman Asikuma Traditional Area and President of the Central Regional House of Chiefs, on behalf of his colleagues extended congratulations to President Mahama on his landslide victory in the December 7 polls.
Osabarimba Kwesi Atta II, the Oguaamanhen, assured President Mahama of the support of the Central Region.
