Health Minister Donates Three Months’ Salary To ‘MahamaCares’ Initiative

Health Minister Kwabena Mintah Akandoh has pledged three months of his salary to support the newly launched MahamaCares initiative, a health-focused social intervention program spearheaded by former President John Dramani Mahama.

Speaking during the launch event, the Minister revealed that his donation mirrors a similar gesture by President Mahama, who has committed six months of his salary to the cause.

Felix Kwakye Ofosu, Minister of State for Government Communications, confirmed the former president’s contribution in a post on social media platform X, writing:
“President Mahama donates six months of his salary to the Ghana Medical Trust Fund (MahamaCares). Programme currently being launched at UGMC.”

The MahamaCares program, formally known as the Ghana Medical Trust Fund, was inaugurated by John Mahama on Tuesday, April 29, 2025, at the University of Ghana Medical Centre (UGMC). The initiative aims to provide critical support for Ghanaians suffering from chronic illnesses, including kidney failure, cancer, and heart disease.

During the launch, President Mahama also called on Corporate Ghana and philanthropic individuals to support the fund, emphasizing its role in reducing the financial burden on citizens affected by life-threatening health conditions.
