We covered key topics, including the significant progress on the Free Primary Healthcare programme, the ongoing work of the National Vaccine Institute, and the impact of uncapping the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIS) to improve healthcare access and financing.

I also thanked Mr. Gates and the Gates Foundation for their extensive philanthropic work in Ghana and their crucial contribution to the Gavi Vaccine Alliance.

I also met with the Gavi Board Chair, José Manuel Barroso, who expressed gratitude for my consistent support for Gavi’s vital vaccine replenishment efforts. Supporting an organisation that is doing such crucial work for global health is always a pleasure.
