Parliament passes Ghana Medical Trust Fund legislation
Parliament on Tuesday, July 22, passed the Ghana Medical Trust Fund Bill, 2025, into law to mobilise funds and resources towards the treatment of chronic and Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) in the country.
The government said it would require about US$60 million to allow it to support many sufferers of the NCDs nationwide.
The bill, which was considered under a certificate of urgency, would foot the medical bills of the sufferers of NCDs including stroke, cancer, diabetes and kidney failure.
The Ghana Medical Trust Fund, otherwise known as 'Mahama Cares', is expected to take 20 per cent of the total funds from the National Insurance Trust Fund (NHIF) to support its activities.
