Philips team in Ghana to inspect hospitals ahead of GMTF equipment installation

The Ghana Medical Trust Fund (GMTF) has taken a significant step in strengthening specialised healthcare delivery across the country by having global healthcare technology company Philips inspect selected health facilities ahead of the installation of critical medical equipment. The GMTF, which aims to retool specialist health facilities, strengthen diagnostic capacity, and improve access to advanced medical services, especially for patients battling chronic and non-communicable diseases, welcomed a delegation from Philips.

The delegation is assessing the readiness of the beneficiary health facilities, establishing installation requirements, and identifying necessary infrastructure to ensure the equipment is effectively deployed and utilised. The Administrator of the GMTF, Adjoa Obuobia Darko-Opoku, outlined the Fund’s four core mandates and its strategic interventions aimed at reducing the financial burden of chronic diseases while strengthening Ghana’s capacity to deliver specialised healthcare.

She urged Philips to consider a strategic partnership that would go beyond the conventional supply of medical equipment, emphasising the importance of building a sustainable relationship to support the Fund’s broader vision of transforming specialised healthcare delivery in Ghana.
