The Ga Mantse, His Royal Majesty Nii Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, has pledged his full support for the Ghana Medical Trust Fund (GMTF), describing the Trust Fund as a critical national intervention capable of transforming access to specialised healthcare and restoring hope to thousands of Ghanaians battling chronic and life-threatening diseases.
The assurance came when the Administrator of the Ghana Medical Trust Fund, Adjoa Obuobia Darko-Opoku, led a high-powered delegation, including Board Member Dr. Adu Agyei Gyamfi and members of the Fund’s management team, on a courtesy call to the Ga Mantse Palace ahead of this year’s Homowo Festival.
The visit formed part of the Trust Fund’s ongoing engagement with Ghana’s traditional authorities to deepen partnerships, strengthen public awareness and rally national support behind its mission of ensuring that no Ghanaian is denied life-saving specialised healthcare because of financial hardship.
During the meeting, the delegation briefed the Ga Mantse on the remarkable progress made since the establishment of the Trust Fund, its growing impact on patients across the country, and its long-term vision of expanding access to specialised treatment while strengthening Ghana’s healthcare system through investment in equipment, infrastructure, specialist training and research.

As part of the visit and in the spirit of solidarity ahead of the upcoming Homowo Festival, the Ghana Medical Trust Fund presented 100 boxes of bottled water and 100 boxes of assorted soft drinks to the Ga Mantse to support the traditional celebrations.
The Ga Mantse expressed appreciation for the gesture and commended the Trust Fund not only for its commitment to improving healthcare but also for recognising and supporting Ghana’s rich cultural heritage.
The Ghana Medical Trust Fund believes partnerships with traditional leaders remain essential to bringing specialised healthcare closer to communities, increasing public awareness of the Fund’s interventions and ensuring that hope reaches every Ghanaian in need.
