The Ghana Month Donation Drive has concluded on a high note, marked by a significant GH₵1 million contribution from the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) to the Ghana Medical Trust Fund, in support of efforts to combat non-communicable diseases across the country.
The donation fulfils a commitment made in October 2025, when the Fund’s Administrator, Adjoa Obuobia Darko-Opoku, visited the NPA to explore collaboration on addressing the growing burden of chronic illnesses in Ghana.
At a brief presentation ceremony, the Chief Executive of the NPA, Godwin Edudzi Tameklo, led the Authority’s Board and management to present the cheque.

He commended the Fund for its impact within a short period and described the contribution as part of efforts to support its life-saving work.
Mr Tameklo further pledged to mobilise organisations within the NPA’s network to support the initiative, stressing the importance of collective action in tackling non-communicable diseases.

Receiving the donation, Ms Darko-Opoku expressed gratitude to the NPA, describing the gesture as both timely and transformative.
She noted that while many institutions had been approached, only a few had responded with such substantial support.

She added that the contribution comes at a crucial time as the Fund prepares for its official rollout, and will significantly strengthen its capacity to assist Ghanaians living with chronic conditions.

On behalf of the Board of Trustees, she reaffirmed the Fund’s commitment to improving access to care and providing relief for individuals battling non-communicable diseases nationwide.

The conclusion of the Ghana Month Donation Drive highlights the growing role of institutional support in advancing national health priorities, with the NPA’s contribution standing as a strong example of corporate commitment to social responsibility.
