In a significant gesture of compassion, the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) has donated GHS 800,000 to the Ghana Medical Trust Fund (GMTF), also known as Mahama Cares, to support patients living with chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs).<\/p>\n

The contribution, raised voluntarily by NHIA management and staff, is intended to provide critical financial assistance to those in urgent need of care.<\/p>\n

The donation was announced in a Facebook post by the GMTF on Monday, February 9, highlighting the timing of the gift as symbolic for February, the month of love.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this month of love, management and staff of the National Health Insurance Authority walked into our offices with something powerful: HOPE. A GHS 800,000 donation\u2026 to support the work of the Ghana Medical Trust Fund. This is love in action,\u201d the post stated.<\/p>\n

The Ghana Medical Trust Fund emphasised that the support would directly benefit patients and families struggling with illnesses such as cancer, kidney failure, and heart disease.<\/p>\n

By easing the financial burden, the contribution is expected to restore hope and improve access to life-saving treatment.<\/p>\n

The post noted, \u201cTheir gesture goes beyond institutional support; it reflects leadership that inspires empathy and people who believe that no Ghanaian living with non-communicable diseases should be left behind.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"NHIA<\/figure>\n

The post singled out the NHIA Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Victor Asare Bampoe, for his unwavering support of the GMTF since its inception.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe especially extend our heartfelt appreciation to the CEO of NHIA, Dr. Victor Asare Bampoe, whose unwavering support\u2026 has set the tone for this extraordinary act. When leadership leads with purpose and empathy, people follow with their hearts,\u201d the Fund said.<\/p>\n
