[Cassiel Ato Forson (PhD) @Cassielforson]

A while ago, I welcomed the World Health Organization Regional Director for Africa, Dr Mohamed Yakub Janabi, for discussions on strengthening Ghana’s health system.

I noted that our focus must now go beyond long life to ensuring quality life for our people.

Since 2025, we have undertaken major reforms in the health sector, including increasing budgetary releases, uncapping the National Health Insurance Levy, and ensuring that the NHIA receives its full allocations, ring-fenced strictly for health-related activities.

We are also investing in the fight against non-communicable diseases through the Ghana Medical Trust Fund and the establishment of specialised non-communicable disease units. In addition, we recently launched the Free Primary Healthcare Programme.

As support from the Global Fund for vaccines and critical medicines winds down by 2029, we are taking steps to ensure that, beginning January 2030, Ghana fully budgets for and finances these vaccines and essential medicines.

Dr Janabi commended Ghana’s progress and stressed that a healthy population is essential for productivity and economic growth.

He also underscored the need for Africa to strengthen local medicine and vaccine production, reduce dependence on imports, and invest more aggressively in tackling non-communicable diseases.

Investing in health drives productivity, economic growth & resilience.
