Ghana has rejected a proposed US health aid deal worth $109 million over five years because of concerns about health data privacy.
In simple terms, the US wanted to provide Ghana with “health aid” worth $109 million over five years, but part of the deal reportedly required access to sensitive health data. Ghana rejected the deal over those concerns.
Ghana is also not the only country to raise concerns. Similar ones were raised by Zimbabwe, while in Kenya the matter has even faced a court challenge.
