The Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) has thrown its weight behind the national campaign to curb non-communicable diseases with a GHC 2 million injection into the Ghana Medical Trust Fund.
At a brief presentation ceremony, GoldBod’s Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Richard Nunekpeku, lauded the government’s health-care vision and the Fund’s leadership.
“We are convinced of the foresight behind MahamaCares and the capacity of its administrators to deliver on its mission and to use the resources effectively in furtherance of this noble vision, which is the reason why we are making this donation,” he said.
He appealed to other public agencies and private companies to rally behind the initiative, stressing that chronic illnesses such as diabetes and hypertension require sustained national attention.
Accepting the cheque on behalf of the Trust Fund, Administrator Obuobia Darko Opoku highlighted stark gaps in medical resources exposed by a recent needs assessment.
“Our focus is to equip health institutions with the tools needed to provide quality care for patients battling non-communicable diseases,” she said, noting that several major facilities in Accra still lack essential equipment.
GoldBod’s contribution, she added, signals more than financial support—it demonstrates a collective resolve to strengthen Ghana’s health infrastructure and deliver better outcomes for patients nationwide.
