The Minister of Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, has revealed that the government needs an amount of $25 million to procure all necessary vaccines for the country this year.
He expressed concern over the gradual withdrawal of donor support in Ghana's health sector, noting that the decline in external assistance poses a serious challenge to healthcare delivery.
Speaking at a meeting with the Pharmaceutical Society of Ghana on Monday, April 14, 2025, the minister stressed the need for the government to mobilize resources to bridge the funding gap left by the reduction in donor support. "It is instructive to note that at this point in time, our partners who assist us in procuring most of our vaccines are gradually fading.
This year alone, we need not less than $25 million to import vaccines into this country," he stated.
