Eight children from various regions of Ghana are now closer to life-saving heart surgeries, thanks to a GH¢1,141,500 intervention by the Ghana Medical Trust Fund at the National Cardiothoracic Centre of Korle Bu Teaching Hospital.
The timely support is transforming the lives of children who, under different circumstances, would be spending their days in classrooms and playgrounds instead of preparing for critical operations.
Of the eight beneficiaries, five were recently referred to Korle Bu from regions including Northern, Savannah, Bono East, Western North, Western, and Greater Accra, demonstrating the Fund’s reach across the country. Their complex cardiothoracic conditions require urgent surgical attention, and the Trust Fund’s intervention is offering renewed hope to both the children and their families.
This initiative is part of a 50-case pilot project preceding the Fund’s full rollout in April. By targeting those most in need, especially children who might otherwise be denied care due to financial barriers, the Ghana Medical Trust Fund is making essential, timely treatment possible for Ghana’s youngest patients.
The Fund’s approach goes beyond promises, demonstrating a living commitment to care. For the families of these children, and for many more to come, the Ghana Medical Trust Fund is turning hope into healing, one surgery at a time.
