GHS unveils new framework to improve Ghana’s preparedness for health emergencies

The Ghana Health Service (GHS) has launched a new Public Health Emergency Operations Centre (PHEOC) framework to strengthen Ghana’s preparedness and response to disease outbreaks and other public health emergencies.

Professor Akoriyea also stressed the need for public health emergency preparedness to extend beyond the health sector.
