The United Kingdom and United States are today contributing almost $3 million (GHS 44 million) towards a partnership with the Government of Ghana to strengthen financial management of the country's health system.
The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) will help 40 districts and more than 900 health facilities adopt Ghana's Integrated Financial Management Information System (GIFMIS) in 2025.
GIFMIS aims to improve financial transparency and accountability within the health sector - with a particular focus on training key staff to effectively use digital systems for budgeting, reporting, and managing funds.
Better financial management will, in turn, lead to improved delivery, accessibility, and affordability of healthcare for Ghanaians.
