Prof. Baffour Agyeman-Duah backs Ghana’s firm stance on US health compact, urges self-reliance

Governance expert Professor Baffour Agyeman-Duah has strongly endorsed President John Dramani Mahama’s decision to reject a proposed United States health compact, describing the original demands as “simply outrageous” and a threat to Ghana’s sovereignty.

And if it’s not, and the terms are good, and we consider our health sector to be a priority that requires us to take hundred and nine million dollars, then that’s fine,”he said.

If we can cut out the fat, the corruption and that kind of thing, a hundred and nine million dollars is not something that is beyond a country like Ghana with all the resources that we are blessed with,” he added.
