“As we draw the curtains on the year, I extend warm greetings to all citizens, especially our dedicated health professionals across the length and breadth of our country,” he said.
Mr Akandoh noted that the year under review had been marked by commitment and renewed focus on strengthening Ghana’s health system, despite persistent challenges.
He said the government had taken deliberate steps to improve access to quality healthcare, enhance health financing, and prioritise the welfare of health workers.

“Despite the challenges encountered, our collective resolve has remained strong,” the Minister stated, adding that the government recognises the sacrifices made by health workers in saving lives and bringing hope to families.
Looking ahead to the new year, the Health Minister said the Ministry of Health would intensify efforts to expand health infrastructure, improve service delivery, strengthen preventive healthcare, and advance the agenda of equitable and affordable healthcare for all Ghanaians.
