‘What we wanted was money to buy medications’ – Dr Nawane on US health support

He said health partnerships should help Ghana secure essential medicines and commodities rather than leave the country with additional financial obligations to fill funding gaps.

Ghana needs more direct funding for essential medicines for tuberculosis, HIV and malaria patients rather than health assistance focused heavily on training and meetings, Chairman of Parliament’s Select Committee on Health, Dr Mark Kurt Nawane, has said.

He said Ghana remained willing to work with the United States on health but insisted that future cooperation should be aligned with the country’s most urgent needs.
