Honourable Minister of Government CommunicationsHeads of Health Agencies and Partner InstitutionsFriends from the MediaDistinguished Ladies and GentlemenGood morning.I am honoured to join you today to share an update on the remarkable progress made in Ghana's health sector during the first half of 2025.Ghana's health sector remains a critical pillar of national development.
It underpins healthy communities, drives economic productivity, and helps realise our national vision for a prosperous Ghana.When we took office, we inherited a Ministry of Health burdened with a staggering debt of nearly 12.68 billion Ghana cedis; this included unpaid bills to service providers, arrears to donor partners, and outstanding payments to contractors.
Despite this, we have not wavered in our commitment to deliver.
We also inherited the much-touted Agenda 111 programme, which,despite an investment of $344 million, had not completed and operationalised a single hospital.
