Minister of Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, has disclosed that the country is facing a significant shortfall in vaccine funding as international support begins to wane.
This development follows funding cuts to USAID by former U.S. President Donald Trump—cuts that have significantly affected the supply of essential drugs and financial support to Ghana’s healthcare system.
According to Mr Mintah Akandoh, the government will require approximately $25 million to procure all necessary vaccines for the country this year.
He made this revelation while speaking at a meeting with the Pharmaceutical Society of Ghana on Monday, April 14.
“It is instructive to note that at this point in time, our partners who assist us in procuring most of our vaccines are gradually fading. This year alone, we need not less than $25 million to import vaccines into this country,” the minister stated.
Mr. Akandoh said the government is left with no alternative due to the dwindling aid.
