Bawumia holds talks with Japanese institutions on technology, healthcare and infrastructure
NPP flagbearer Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has held a series of engagements with key Japanese institutions as part of his visit to the Asian country, focusing on technology, healthcare, infrastructure development and industrial policy.
President of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has engaged with Japanese institutions during his visit to the country, focusing on technology, healthcare, infrastructure development, and industrialisation. These discussions explored Japan's technological advancements and policy approaches in various sectors, such as monetary policy, digital payment systems, vaccine research, flood management, and environmental protection.
Dr Bawumia met with officials from the Bank of Japan to discuss monetary policy, central bank digital currency (CBDC) and payment systems, as well as Japan's Digital Agency to learn about the country's digitalisation efforts and technology's role in public services. In healthcare, Dr Bawumia and his delegation met with Chiba University to discuss vaccine research, manufacturing, scientific research, and preparedness for public health emergencies.
Infrastructure development and flood management were also explored during meetings with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, the Japan Organization for Metals and Energy Security, and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO). Dr Bawumia expressed gratitude to the Japanese hosts for their warm reception and the insights shared during the meetings.
Earlier in his visit, Dr Bawumia toured 3R, a Japanese environmental technology company specializing in sustainable solutions. The technologies showcased, including those for water recycling and contaminated soil treatment, could potentially benefit Ghana's efforts in addressing environmental pollution caused by illegal mining.
