Eleven Security agencies under the Ministry of Interior have donated an amount of Ghs 1million to the Ghana Medical Trust Fund, dubbed “MahamaCares,”.
The agencies are the Ghana Police Service, Ghana National Fire service, Ghana Immigration Service, Ghana Prisons Service, National Commission and Small Arms and Light weapons, Ghana Refugees Board, National Peace Council, The Gaming Commission, National Identification Authority, National Disaster Management Organization and the Narcotic Control Commission
The presentation comes after service commanders of the Ghana Armed Forces donated a one month pay check to the Mahama Care Fund.
At short ceremony at the Presidency on Friday, June 20, 2025 to make the presentation, Inspector General of Police (IGP) Christian Tetteh Yohonu said the gesture was borne out of the love they for the nation and the level of deprivation of the vast majority of the Ghanaian people as far as health delivery is concerned.
“A large number of our people in the country really need healthcare. Those of us in the security services, we are fortunate that when we are not well the government is there to take care of us. But there are people over there who have nobody to take care of them when they are sick. It is with this Mr. President we want to support your good initiative and the support we are giving is the beginning of many others to come” he said.
The Ghana Medical Trust Fund seeks to cover the cost of care and medication for Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) not currently included under the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), thereby complementing it by supporting critical aspects of these conditions.
Additionally, the Fund will invest in health infrastructure, medical equipment, specialist training, and research to enhance access to quality healthcare.
