The Ghana Medical Trust Fund (GMTF), also known as Mahama Care, has registered seven cancer patients in the Volta Region. This was disclosed by the Regional Coordinator, Emefa Daitey, during a meeting on August 20, 2026. Some of these patients are receiving treatment at Ho Teaching Hospital while others have been referred to specialized facilities in Accra and Kumasi due to the lack of certain services in the region.
Daitey also mentioned that a child with soft tissue sarcoma and another with breast cancer are receiving specialized treatment at Korle Bu Teaching Hospital. The Ghana Medical Trust Fund is a government-supported initiative offering financial assistance for the treatment of serious medical conditions for eligible beneficiaries. Volta Regional Minister James Gunu praised the Mahama Care programme for assisting residents suffering from non-communicable diseases, stating it is helping families with the cost of medical treatment.
He also urged residents to maintain peace and unity, emphasizing that stability is crucial for attracting investment and accelerating development in the Volta Region.
