They take up a certain percentage and then ask the government to also contribute a certain percentage. That percentage doesn\u2019t go to them, but the government is supposed to use it to buy commodities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor example, the current grant that we are operating is from 2024 up to 2026, worth over $240 million and Ghana is supposed to make about 15% of that capital funding. The government is supposed to commit that over three years plus other additional commodities in support of our health system but that letter was supposed to be signed by May last year, the thing is, the letter has not been signed and Global Fund is not happy about that,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU:\u00a0https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>No spams, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The government is under scrutiny for its handling of the co-financing agreement with the Global Fund, as revealed by Ernest Amoabeng Ortsin, the president of the Ghana HIV and AIDS network.
