US health aid to Ghana not cut abruptly: 3-Year releases planned before USAID closure — US Embassy

He added that, per US Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s vision, the US government after 20 years into PEPFAR needed to be getting to a point where it transitioned away from the part of the funding it was providing in a collaborative way, and in a measured way, over time that would help avoid being abrupt and had to be something that was scaled off slowly.

On the funding amounts, Mr Olson said the figures were not arbitrary but based on existing health assistance programmes, adding that the US had invested significant taxpayer dollars in Ghana's health sector, amounting to $2.

The United States Embassy has clarified that its health assistance to Ghana has not stopped even after the closure of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), explaining that funding for 2025, 2026 and 2027 was mapped out years in advance.
