Commendation on the Passage of the MahamaCare Fund Bill 2025

The Stroke Association Support Network Ghana (SASNET GHANA) extends its sincere congratulations to the Honorable Minister of Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, MP and the entire team for their tireless efforts in facilitating the passage of the MahamaCare Fund bill.

We also wish to express our profound gratitude to His Excellency President John Dramani Mahama for his unwavering commitment to enhancing the lives of individuals afflicted with stroke, cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, and other non-communicable diseases in Ghana.

One of the critical challenges faced by persons living with stroke and cardiovascular disease is the lack of access to post-discharge rehabilitation support. Community-based rehabilitation and Assistive Technology (AT) pose significant hurdles.

SASNET GHANA strongly advocates for the development of a national policy on AT and the establishment of Community-Based Rehabilitation Centers (CBRCs) to provide essential support services.

To operationalize these centers effectively across all 16 regions of Ghana, we propose a collaborative initiative between SASNET GHANA, the Ministry of Health, and other stakeholders.

We urge Ghanaians, industry leaders, philanthropists, international organizations, and embassies to contribute generously to the MahamaCare Fund.

Collective efforts will enable us to improve the lives of persons with stroke, heart disease, kidney disease, and other conditions, ultimately enhancing their quality of life and promoting inclusive development.

By working together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals affected by these conditions and contribute to a healthier, more inclusive Ghana.

Thank you
