Ghana gold board donates GHS 2 million to MahamaCares health fund

The Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) has donated GHS 2 million to the Ghana Medical Trust Fund, known as MahamaCares, to support healthcare delivery and combat the rising burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in the country.

Mr. Richard Nunekpeku, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of GoldBod, reaffirmed the Board’s confidence in President John Dramani Mahama‘s vision and the leadership of the Fund. He said the donation was a demonstration of GoldBod’s belief in MahamaCares’ capacity to deliver on its mission and use resources effectively.

He also called on other state institutions and corporate bodies to support the initiative, describing it as a vital effort to address the challenges of chronic disease care in Ghana.

Madam Obuobia Darko Opoku, Administrator of the MahamaCares Fund, highlighted urgent healthcare gaps revealed by a recent needs assessment, including shortages of essential medical equipment across major facilities in Accra. She assured that the Fund was committed to equipping health institutions to provide quality care for NCD patients.

The donation, she added, not only strengthens health infrastructure but also reflects a shared responsibility and collective resolve to improve health outcomes for all Ghanaians.
