The Government of Ghana is preparing to fully budget for and finance vaccines and critical medicines ahead of the gradual withdrawal of support from the Global Fund by 2029, Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson has disclosed.

According to the minister, government is taking deliberate steps to ensure that Ghana’s healthcare system remains resilient and sustainable even after external support declines.

Dr. Forson made the remarks during a meeting with the World Health Organization’s Regional Director for Africa, Dr Mohamed Yakub Janabi, as part of discussions on strengthening Ghana’s health system.
