🚙 Three Vehicles Handed Over to Strengthen RMNCAHN Services in Ghana

On 2 September, three vehicles were officially handed over to the Ghana Health Service (GHS) as part of the “Improving Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child, Adolescent Health and Nutrition (RMNCAHN) Service Delivery by Strengthening the Networks of Practice (NoP) in Ghana” project.

Supported by the Government of the Republic of Korea through KOICA, the vehicles have been allocated to the Central, Eastern, and Ashanti Regions. They will support field officers and regional teams in carrying out supervision, monitoring, coordination, and community outreach activities, ultimately contributing to stronger primary healthcare delivery in the beneficiary areas.

At the handover, KOICA Ghana Country Director Mr. D**g Wan Woo reaffirmed the Republic of Korea’s commitment to improving healthcare outcomes in Ghana through sustained partnership. He highlighted the role of the vehicles in facilitating essential project activities at the regional, district, and community levels and encouraged the beneficiary regions to utilize them effectively to advance the objectives of the RMNCAHN NoP project.

GHS Director-General Dr. Samuel Kaba Akoriyea emphasized the importance of operational sustainability, effective resource management, and local ownership. He also reaffirmed GHS’s commitment to maintaining the vehicles so they can provide long-term support to field teams and healthcare delivery.

As the project’s procurement partner, UNICEF supported the procurement of the three vehicles. Procurement of additional essential medical equipment and supplies for health facilities in the target regions is also being finalized as part of the project.

Through the RMNCAHN NoP project, Korea and Ghana continue working together to strengthen frontline health services and help ensure that quality healthcare reaches mothers, newborns, children, adolescents, and communities where it is needed most.

🌍 Savannah Regional PHEOC Officially Inaugurated to Strengthen Emergency Preparedness and Response

On 1 September, the Savannah Regional Public Health Emergency Operations Centre (PHEOC) was officially inaugurated in Damongo to strengthen the region’s capacity to prepare for, detect, coordinate, and respond to disease outbreaks and other public health emergencies.

Supported by the Government of the Republic of Korea through KOICA under the “Increasing Health Security Capacities through the Global Health Security Agenda (2nd Phase)” project, the centre will serve as a regional hub for coordinating emergency operations, managing and analysing health information, facilitating communication, and supporting rapid decision-making.

In her remarks, KOICA Ghana Deputy Country Director Ms. Boyeong Choe described the inauguration as an important milestone for both the Savannah Region and Ghana’s broader public health emergency preparedness efforts. She emphasized that the centre represents an investment in decentralized health security, while stressing that its impact will depend on sustained operation, continuous staff training, and regular testing of emergency response procedures.

Dr. John Ekow Otoo, Savannah Regional Director of Health Services, explained that the PHEOC will serve as the region’s “nerve centre” for public health emergencies. Through continuous monitoring and analysis of health data, the centre will support early detection and rapid response, while bringing relevant institutions together under the One Health approach to share information, resources, and coordinate action.

Hon. Salisu Yussif Biawurbi, Savannah Regional Minister, emphasized that the inauguration represents the establishment of a coordinated emergency response system rather than merely the opening of a physical structure. Highlighting the region’s particular need for vigilance against emerging health threats, he formally declared the Savannah Regional PHEOC open.

Through continued partnership, the Government of the Republic of Korea, KOICA, and the Government of Ghana are working to strengthen early detection, coordination, and rapid response for a more resilient public health system.

🌍 Strengthening Ghana’s Public Health Emergency Preparedness

On 21 August, strategic documents and a national roadmap for the establishment, operation, and phased development of Public Health Emergency Operations Centres (PHEOCs) across Ghana were officially launched.

The initiative is supported by the Government of the Republic of Korea through KOICA under the “Increasing Health Security Capacities through the Global Health Security Agenda (2nd Phase)” project. It aims to strengthen Ghana’s capacity to prepare for, coordinate, and respond effectively to public health emergencies by providing a strategic framework for the development and operation of PHEOCs across the country.

In his remarks, KOICA Ghana Country Director Mr. D**g Wan Woo** reaffirmed Korea’s continued support for Ghana’s public health sector and emphasized that effective emergency preparedness is a shared responsibility requiring strong multisectoral collaboration. He described the launch as an important beginning of the next phase—turning strategic plans into sustained implementation and ultimately contributing to a more resilient health system and stronger global health security.

Delivering welcome remarks on behalf of the Director of Public Health, Dr. Kwame Amponsa-Achiano, Deputy Director for Disease Control, underscored the importance of strengthening systems and coordination to ensure Ghana is better prepared to respond to public health emergencies.

Dr. Lawrence Lartey, Head of the National PHEOC, presented a detailed technical overview of the framework and roadmap, explaining how the documents will guide the establishment, operation, and progressive development of PHEOCs nationwide.

With the roadmap now in place, the focus moves from planning to implementation. KOICA remains committed to working with its partners to help translate these strategies into stronger preparedness, more effective coordination, and a resilient public health system for Ghana.
