Accra, Ghana – A delegation from the Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission Ghana, headed by its President, Alhaji Maulvi Mohammed Bin Salih, paid a courtesy call on the Minister for Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, this week to discuss strengthening cooperation in healthcare provision across the country. The Mission, which manages an established network of hospitals and clinics, emphasized the urgent need for support to upgrade its infrastructure and improve services to cope with escalating health demands in the areas they serve.
Alhaji Maulvi Bin Salih noted that while the Mission’s health institutions were initially set up to cater to deprived areas, recent urban growth has introduced new pressures necessitating enhanced facilities and robust partnerships. In response, Minister Akandoh commended the Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission for its sustained service to Ghana’s health sector over the decades, characterizing their efforts as a clear demonstration of compassion and community leadership.
The Minister assured the delegation that the Ministry would duly consider their requests for medical equipment and actively explore practical measures to reinforce the existing relationship between the two entities.
During the meeting, Hon. Mintah Akandoh also updated the Mission leaders on significant government health initiatives, including the ongoing Agenda 111 Project and the forthcoming Free Primary Health Care policy, designed to boost the accessibility of essential medical services for all Ghanaians. The courtesy call concluded with the Ahmadiyya delegation offering prayers for the Minister, his Deputy, and the Ministry staff, seeking divine guidance for their work in public service.
