The Fund stated that its authorities, the administrator, Obuobia Darko-Opoku, and other leading members had very insightful engagements with the authorities of the Tamale Teaching Hospital, focusing on its most pressing needs.
The hospital’s senior management, led by Professor Alhassan Abdul-Mumin, the Medical Director, cooperated with the authorities of the Fund, and they had discussions surrounding very important issues such as “strengthening specialist care, expanding critical services, and exploring sustainable avenues for partnership in addressing the rising burden of non-communicable diseases.”
The Fund also noted that the hospital’s management was very particular about the fact that the Fund’s training component could train and upskill their workers, emphasizing their excitement about the partnership.
“The hospital’s management expressed particular enthusiasm for the training component of the Fund’s mandate, recognizing it as essential to improving specialist capacity and the quality of care in the region.”

The Fund also noted that its discussions on collaborations and partnerships with the Tamale Teaching Hospital were further strengthened after their meeting with Board Chairman, Dr. Simon Naporoo.
The Fund emphasized that its meeting with the Tamale Teaching Hospital was only one of its collaborative engagements with the authorities of various health facilities across the country.
It emphasized the need for such partnerships and collaborative engagements, as it serves as the medium through which the Fund will get relevant information on the current conditions of these facilities and the conditions of healthcare delivery.
These collaborations and partnerships are also set to help the Fund obtain the required data to help with the design solutions for the challenges of these institutions.
“Each engagement in this nationwide exercise has been deeply insightful and eye-opening, providing the Fund with the data and perspective needed to design tailored, effective solutions that meet hospitals exactly where their needs are.”

The Fund emphasized that its visits to the hospitals are continuous, “one region, one hospital at a time,” as its focus is to have data that reflect the national situation of health facilities and healthcare delivery.
The Fund’s collaborations and partnerships have not just been limited to only healthcare facilities but also state institutions and private organizations as well.
The Fund has stated its partnership with the National Lottery Authority, led by the Director General, Mr. Mohamed Abdul-Salam.
The Fund stated that its administrator, Obuobia Darko-Opoku, paid a courtesy call on Mr. Mohammed Abdul-Salam and his deputy, Mr. Eric Yeboah Wadie, to hold “discussions focused on how the NLA could partner with the Fund through its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives on a quarterly or annual basis.”
Aside from the National Lottery Authority, the Fund also has similar partnerships with other state institutions such as the National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (NEIP), the National Petroleum Authority (NPA), the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT), and the Petroleum Commission, among others.
The Fund also has partnerships with corporate entities such as Telece Ghana, who have already made medical equipment deliveries to some medical institutions, including Tamale Teaching Hospital.
On October 14, 2025, the Tamale Teaching Hospital confirmed the receipt of a colposcopy machine for cervical cancer screening from the Telece Foundation through the Ghana Medical Trust Fund (MahamaCares).
The Fund has assured its resolve and commitment to its course of ensuring improvement in healthcare delivery, especially with non-communicable diseases.
