Health Ministry, partners sign MoU to boost local vaccine production
Significance The agreement would further provide market access beyond Ghana, and offer both established manufacturers and upcoming ones in the planned Ghana Pharmaceutical Hub a structured pathway to supply quality-assured health products, vaccines and medical equipment to all 55 AU member states through Africa CDC's demand aggregation.
The Ministry of Health has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) for Ghana to participate in the African Pooled Procurement Mechanism (APPM).
Furthermore, the mechanism would improve access to affordable, quality-assured products while strengthening supply security, collective purchasing power and intra-African trade, in line with Africa CDC's Strategic Plan (2023-2027) and the African Health Security and Sovereignty (AHSS) Framework.
