On Wednesday, April 29, 2026, the Mental Health Authority launched its 2026 National Fundraising Campaign for Purple May Month.
The event, held at the headquarters of the Assemblies of God Ghana, assembled diverse mental health stakeholders, including policymakers, health professionals, corporate leaders, and members of the public, to advance mental healthcare in Ghana.
The Chief Executive of the MHA, Dr Eugene K Dordoye, said the agency carries out awareness campaigns in May of every year, but is poised to move from awareness creation to action with this year's program.
"In May of every year, we hold Mental Health Awareness. But this year, we believe we have done enough to create awareness and want to move to action. So this time, we want all that we know about mental health to be put into action.
"We don't want the case to be that where you stay in the country determines whether you have access to mental healthcare or not. We do not want mental healthcare to be confined to only Accra and Kumasi," he said.
