GoldBod donates GH¢2 million to MahamaCares in support of healthcare delivery

The Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) has made a significant contribution of GH¢2 million to the Ghana Medical Trust Fund (“MahamaCares”) to strengthen healthcare delivery and help address the growing burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in Ghana.

Speaking at the presentation ceremony, Richard Nunekpeku, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of GoldBod, reaffirmed the Board’s confidence in the vision of President John Dramani Mahama and the leadership of the Fund.

“We are convinced of the foresight behind MahamaCares and the capacity of its administrators to deliver on its mission and to use the resources effectively in furtherance of this noble vision, the reason why we are making this donation,” he said.

Mr. Nunekpeku also called on other state and corporate institutions to join forces in supporting the initiative, which seeks to address specific challenges associated with chronic disease care in Ghana.

Receiving the donation, Obuobia Darko-Opoku, Administrator of the MahamaCares Fund, highlighted the urgent healthcare gaps identified through a recent needs assessment.

The assessment revealed severe shortages of essential medical equipment across major health facilities in Accra.

She assured that the Fund remains committed to addressing these gaps, adding, “Our focus is to equip health institutions with the tools needed to provide quality care for patients battling non-communicable diseases.”

The donation by the Ghana Gold Board marks a significant step towards strengthening Ghana’s health infrastructure and improving access to essential healthcare services.

Beyond financial assistance, the contribution reflects a shared responsibility and collective commitment to securing better health outcomes for Ghanaians.
