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.

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.
