The Ministry of Health has strengthened its partnership with Pfizer to advance equitable and affordable healthcare in Ghana. Minister for Health, Hon. Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, met with Pfizer’s Head of Accord, Mr. Ali Besri, to discuss expanding collaboration in the context of Ghana’s ongoing healthcare reforms and the recent launch of the Mahama Cares Program.
The partnership aims to support Ghana’s public health system by providing access to quality treatments, including innovative therapies and essential medicines. Pfizer has committed to offering its full portfolio of patented and off-patent medicines and vaccines on a not-for-profit basis.
The Minister highlighted the importance of public-private partnerships in driving systemic change and expressed optimism about the potential of the partnership to deliver lasting impact for Ghanaian patients. “We look forward to deepening our collaboration with Pfizer to ensure no Ghanaian is left behind in accessing the care they need,” he said.
