The Ghana Medical Trust Fund (GMTF) has appealed to American hospitals, investors, medical institutions and philanthropists to partner with Ghana in expanding access to specialised healthcare.
The appeal was made at the Ghana-Tennessee Business and Investor Roundtable in Nashville, United States, where GMTF Administrator, Adjoa Obuobia Darko-Opoku, highlighted the Fund’s progress and outlined opportunities for international collaboration.
She disclosed that more than 800 patients had been enrolled for treatment under the Fund’s initiatives, while critical cardiac services had been restored at the Korle -Bu Teaching Hospital, Ghana’s premier teaching hospital.
She also highlighted ongoing investments in oncology services, medical equipment and specialist training as part of efforts to strengthen Ghana’s healthcare system.
According to the GMTF Administrator, the country requires more than goodwill to address its specialised healthcare needs, stressing the importance of strategic partnerships that can deliver measurable and life-saving outcomes.
The Fund is seeking partnerships in key areas, including cancer treatment, advanced diagnostic services, medical technology, research and specialist training.
The proposed collaborations are expected to support efforts to improve healthcare infrastructure, strengthen specialist capacity and widen access to essential medical services for Ghanaians.
The engagement forms part of the GMTF’s efforts to build relationships with international institutions and development partners capable of contributing expertise, investment and other resources to healthcare delivery.
Through the outreach in the United States, the Fund is seeking to mobilise support for its broader mission of improving access to specialised treatment and saving lives.
The Ghana Medical Trust Fund says its work is guided by the commitment to invest in care and strengthen hope for patients and families across the country.
