Over the past few days, I had the opportunity to participate in the 2025 World Camp of the International Youth Fellowship (IYF) in Seoul, South Korea, which was themed “Mind Education.” The experience was incredibly exciting, and I am truly grateful to the leadership of IYF, especially to the founder, Rev. Ock Soo Park, for this amazing chance to speak with participants and invited guests from around the world. I shared some of the initiatives we are pursuing at the Ministry of Youth Development and Empowerment. This platform also allowed us to seek support and build partnerships for some of our flagship interventions, particularly the "Red Means Stop" campaign. #YouthPower
I had productive discussions with Bill Gates this afternoon in Brussels, ahead of the #Gavi Vaccine Alliance pledging session. Our discussion focused on Ghana’s vital interventions in the health sector. We covered key topics, including the significant progress on the Free Primary Healthcare programme, the ongoing work of the National Vaccine Institute, and the impact of uncapping the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIS) to improve healthcare access and financing.
I also thanked Mr. Gates and the Gates Foundation for their extensive philanthropic work in Ghana and their crucial contribution to the Gavi Vaccine Alliance.
I also met with the Gavi Board Chair, José Manuel Barroso, who expressed gratitude for my consistent support for Gavi’s vital vaccine replenishment efforts. Supporting an organisation that is doing such crucial work for global health is always a pleasure.
These meetings underscore the importance of international collaboration and sustained investment in health systems to build a healthier future for all.
Looking forward to the pledging session and advocating for continued support for Gavi’s life-saving work.
