The Ministry of Health has reaffirmed its commitment to advancing evidence-based health policy through the Sustainable Access and Delivery of New Vaccines in Ghana (SAVING) Project. The project marks a major step in Ghana’s transition from being a research participant to a leader in health technology assessment and policy innovation.
Led by the Ministry of Health, the SAVING Project has built national capacity in Health Technology Assessment, improved procurement and supply chain systems, and enhanced mechanisms for disseminating health information. The project has produced practical tools, including a Supply Chain Manual and a Drug Information Strategy, to guide the introduction of new health technologies.
The initiative demonstrates Ghana’s growing leadership in health implementation research and its commitment to strengthening the national health system through innovation and collaboration. The Ministry of Health has expressed appreciation to partners such as the European and Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership (EDCTP), WHO, PATH, and other stakeholders for their technical and financial assistance.
