The Ghana Medical Trust Fund, or MahamaCares, is joining forces with chiefs across the country. This collaboration is part of a plan to make people aware of health policies and services. Chiefs play an important role in local communities, helping to spread important information.
The fund was created by the Ghana Medical Trust Fund Act, specifically Act 1144 of 2025. Its main goal is to help people pay for care and medicine. This applies to non-communicable diseases that are often long-term health issues.
A recent meeting took place in Kumasi with members of the National House of Chiefs. This shows a serious effort to connect with traditional leaders. They will help explain the policies to their communities.
The program aims to reach many Ghanaians who might be affected by these diseases. By working with chiefs, MahamaCares hopes to reach more people effectively. This will help ensure everyone knows how to get the help they need.
The fund covers costs related to diagnosis, treatment, and medication. This is important for managing conditions like diabetes and heart disease. The partnership means more educated conversations about health management at the local level.
