Ghana to deploy condom vending machines nationwide by end of 2026 to boost HIV prevention
Programme Manager of the National AIDS and STIs Control Programme, Dr Emmanuel Akwoulo Agyigewe Teviu, urged stakeholders to close persistent gaps in HIV prevention and strengthen integrated, people-centred care, while Governing Board Chair of the Ghana AIDS Commission, Kakra Essamuah, reaffirmed the government's commitment to strengthening Ghana's national HIV response.
Ghana will begin deploying condom vending machines across the country by the last quarter of 2026 as part of efforts to improve access to condoms and strengthen the fight against HIV/AIDS, the Ghana AIDS Commission (GAC) has announced.
The Commission is also seeking to extend the initiative to public institutions, including washrooms in ministries, departments, agencies and financial institutions, under its national HIV and wellness policy.
