An emergency intervention by the Ghana Medical Trust Fund (GMTF), ahead of its official rollout, has given seven Ghanaians a renewed chance at life, marking a strong start to the Fund’s pilot phase. At the University of Ghana Medical Centre (UGMC), a 25-year-old man diagnosed with ischaemic heart disease can now breathe a sigh of relief after the Trust Fund fully covered his medical bills. "The Fund will pay their medical bills in full to give them another chance at life,” she explained. At UGMC, the Trust Fund also settled the full medical bill of GH¢25,750 for 25-year-old Aminu Taibu, paving the way for his heart surgery. “The Fund exists to ensure that no Ghanaian suffers or dies simply because they cannot afford critical medical care,” she stated.
