The Ministry of Health (MoH) has clarified that the delay in clearing essential medicines at Tema Port in the Greater Accra region will not lead to imminent health issues in Ghana.
Despite the challenges, the MoH announced that the Global Fund has provided an itinerary for the delivery of medicines for the year 2024.
In an official statement, the Ministry of Health revealed that the first consignment for 2024 was successfully delivered on Friday, April 12, 2024.
The government, alongside the Ministry of Health and its development partners, remains committed to prioritizing the healthcare needs of all Ghanaian citizens, the statement concluded.
“By this press release, we wish to re-assure our stakeholders and the general public that the Global Fund remains our strong development partner in health, and has neither suspended nor intends to suspend any supplies to Ghana, and for that matter, no health crisis is looming.
“The commitment of the government, through the Ministry of Health and its development partners, to meet the health needs of all people living in Ghana continues to be our collective top priority,” the ministry stated.
