Mahama Cares Gains Boost From Telecel Group

 


The Group CEO of Telecel Group, Moh Damush, has praised the Mahama Cares Initiative, officially known as the Ghana Medical Trust Fund, describing it as a critical platform for corporate organizations to contribute meaningfully to Ghana's healthcare sector.

Speaking during the donation of medical equipment to support the initiative, Mr. Damush said Telecel is deeply committed to advancing healthcare in Ghana, with a particular focus on cancer diagnostics.

“We are committed to the improvement of the healthcare sector in Ghana, and in particular, cancer diagnosis,” he stated. “We have chosen to specifically donate equipment to the Mahama Care Initiative in collaboration with the Ministry of Health. With this contribution, we will equip three diagnostic centers for cervical cancer, which will help detect at least 2,800 undiagnosed cases annually and impact thousands of women.”

The donation includes not only diagnostic equipment but also all necessary disposable supplies to keep the centers fully operational for at least the next two years. Mr. Damush emphasized that while the exact financial value of the donation was not immediately available, the priority for Telecel was the scale of impact rather than the cost.

“These centers will benefit no less than 10,000 women in the next two years,” he noted. “This is just the beginning, and we are committed to assessing the impact and expanding our efforts in the fight against cervical cancer in Ghana.”

The Mahama Cares Initiative
Launched by former President John Dramani Mahama, the Mahama Cares Initiative—formally known as the Ghana Medical Trust Fund—aims to strengthen Ghana’s healthcare system by mobilizing public-private partnerships to provide essential equipment, services, and support. The initiative focuses on critical health needs, including cancer diagnosis and treatment, maternal health, and rural health infrastructure. It serves as a conduit for corporate institutions and philanthropists to directly support the health and wellbeing of Ghanaians.

The Ngleshie Alata Traditional Council has strongly condemned the recent induction of Prince Asharku-Bruce Quaye, also known as Oblempong Wetse Kojo II, as the Ngleshie Alata Mantse. Speaking on behalf of the council, Nii Ofei III, Divisional Chief of Kokrobitey, alleged that the induction was carried out unlawfully by the Greater Accra Regional House of Chiefs without the knowledge or involvement of the traditional council. According to Nii Ofei III, the process of installing a chief follows clear constitutional and customary guidelines, which were blatantly disregarded in this case. He accused the registrar of the Greater Accra Regional House of Chiefs and its president, Oboade Notse King Professor Odaifio Welentsi III, of collaborating to impose Prince Asharku-Bruce Quaye on the traditional council. “This induction was conducted in secrecy. We only became aware of it after a letter circulated about a meeting between the Greater Accra Regional Minister and the Regional House of Chief...

The Royal Jamong Family of Bunkpurugu has expressed deep concern over what it describes as political interference by Vice President Dr. Mahamud Bawumia and the NPP parliamentary candidate for Bunkpurugu, Mr. Solomon N. Boar, in the ongoing chieftaincy dispute surrounding the Bunkpurugu skin. In a strongly-worded statement, the family accused the two politicians of exerting undue pressure on the National House of Chiefs, a move that they believe undermines the integrity of the chieftaincy institution. The family pointed to recent comments made by Abuba, who claimed that his uncle, Vice President Bawumia, had promised to ensure that a pending judgment in the chieftaincy case would be delayed indefinitely. This, the Royal Jamong Family warned, is a "sad development and a recipe for disaster." The family has also documented Mr. Boar's activities, including a recent trip to Accra with Abuba to meet the Vice President. This has led the family to question the motivations behind ...
