The Ghana Medical Trust Fund has extended its nationwide stakeholder engagement tour to the Upper West Region as part of efforts to improve public awareness of specialised healthcare support and how eligible patients can access financial assistance.
The Fund’s Administrator, Adjoa Obuobia Darko-Opoku, made this known during a courtesy call on the Upper West Regional Minister, Charles Lwanga Puozuing.
She emphasised the importance of ensuring that Ghanaians understand the medical conditions covered by the Fund and the procedures for accessing financial support for treatment.
The engagement forms part of the Fund’s efforts to bring information about its specialised healthcare support closer to communities and ensure that eligible patients are aware of the assistance available to them.
The Upper West Regional Minister pledged his support for the initiative, while the Mayor of Wa, Alhaji Nurah Issah Danwana, also expressed his commitment to the exercise.
The engagement underscores the importance of collaboration with regional and local authorities in expanding public awareness and improving access to specialised healthcare support.
The Fund maintains that access to such support should not be determined by a person’s geographical location or level of knowledge about the healthcare system.
