Government repatriates 327 stranded Ghanaians from Côte d’Ivoire after demolitions in Port Bouët https://t.co/eoyQE533Ec #Ghana#Repatriation#CotedIvoire
Yesterday, I joined stakeholders in the health sector for the 2026 Annual Health Summit dedicated to reviewing performance, assessing achievements, and reflecting on the challenges and opportunities within Ghana’s healthcare system.
Ghana’s health interventions are guided by the Accra Reset on Health Sovereignty, which seeks to reposition health as a pillar of national development, economic resilience, and security. The Reset calls for a shift from dependency towards stronger domestic financing, local capacity building, workforce development, and health systems. In Ghana, this vision is being translated into action through initiatives such as Free Primary Healthcare, the Ghana Medical Trust Fund (MahamaCares), and strategic investments in the health workforce.
I noted that a strong and well-distributed health workforce remains central to achieving Universal Health Coverage. While Ghana has made significant progress in expanding its health workforce, Government is addressing disparities in deployment by recruiting thousands of health professionals. Particular attention is being given to community health nurses, midwives, physician assistants, and public health officers.
We also highlighted the importance of retaining health professionals through improved living and working conditions. At the same time, we acknowledged the growing migration of health professionals and the need for strategic bilateral agreements, ethical recruitment practices, and managed migration frameworks that protect the interests of Ghana and its workers.
Achieving Universal Health Coverage and advancing the goals of the Accra Reset will require collaboration across Government, the health sector, local authorities, development partners, and communities. Ultimately, a resilient health system depends on infrastructure and the people who serve within it. By investing in our health workforce, we strengthen the foundation for a healthier, more prosperous, and more resilient Ghana.
