  "account": "President John Mahama has revealed that the United States is reaching out to Ghana to reassess the health compact agreement that was initially rejected by the Ghanaian government. During a citizens' engagement in Goaso, Mahama addressed a question about the agreement, drawing from a speech he delivered at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York last month. He explained that despite his previous discussions on the matter, the US government has now invited Ghana to engage in a dialogue to modify or eliminate the aspects of the agreement that the country finds unsatisfactory. One of Ghana's primary issues with the compact is the requirement for the nation to share its national pathogen profiles and citizens' private medical records with the United States, which Mahama deemed unacceptable.",
