President John Dramani Mahama has announced a major increase in Ghana’s health sector funding for 2025.
Speaking at a media event in Accra, he revealed that the national health budget has grown by 13.4%, rising from GHS15.6 billion to GHS17.8 billion.
He described this as one of the most substantial increases in recent years, aimed at reinforcing the country’s healthcare system in response to both local needs and global health challenges.
Mahama also addressed rumours surrounding the Free Senior High School (SHS) initiative. Contrary to claims that the policy might be scrapped, he confirmed that it has not only been maintained but received its highest-ever budget allocation.
This move highlights the government’s commitment to education and social welfare.
