Health Ministry, Peace Corps mark 65 years of partnership between Ghana and US
The Ministry of Health joined the Peace Corps to commemorate 65 years of partnership between Ghana and the United States, recognising the organisation’s significant contributions to healthcare, community development, education and agriculture since it began operations in Ghana in 1961.
Speaking at the anniversary celebration, the Deputy Minister for Health, Grace Ayensu-Danquah, said Ghana made history in 1961 by becoming the first country to welcome Peace Corps volunteers following an initiative by then US President John F.
According to her, Peace Corps volunteers worked alongside health authorities and communities to support disease surveillance, case detection, safe water practices, and public education.
