‘Who takes another country’s medical records?’ – Mahama on rejected US health deal

President John Dramani Mahama has defended Ghana’s decision to reject a proposed health compact from the United States, describing some of its conditions as “humiliating” and unacceptable.

According to him, the compact required Ghana to provide the United States with its pathogen profile and medical records.” The proposed compact was intended to provide funding to African countries affected by cuts to US foreign aid, with Ghana among the countries negotiating a replacement arrangement for health support previously provided through USAID.
