Mahama: Ghana’s health reset will prioritise local drug production
President John Dramani Mahama has said Ghana’s efforts to reset its health sector must go beyond the construction of hospitals and medical facilities to developing the country’s capacity to manufacture essential medicines locally.
President John Dramani Mahama has outlined Ghana's plans to reset its health sector, emphasizing the importance of producing vital medicines locally. The new approach focuses on expanding industrial capacity, bolstering domestic pharmaceutical companies, and reducing reliance on external sources for crucial health supplies. Rather than merely constructing hospitals and medical facilities, President Mahama's vision includes supporting local drug manufacturing backed by government purchasing guarantees and regional market access.
This strategy aligns with the broader Accra Reset philosophy, highlighting that Ghana's national transformation is intrinsically linked to reforms in global health, finance, and development systems. Mahama stressed that without addressing these global issues, Ghana's progress would be vulnerable and unstable.
