The Korean government has committed $32 million in aid to Ghana this year, with a significant one-third of the funds dedicated to improving healthcare services. This announcement was made by the Korean Ambassador to Ghana, H.E. Park Kyongsig, during the inauguration of a GHS 2.3 million health facility in Abutia Kpota, Ho West District.
A Major Investment in Healthcare
Ambassador Park emphasized Korea’s commitment to strengthening Ghana’s healthcare system, aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3, which promotes good health and well-being for all. The funding aims to:
✅ Improve access to quality healthcare services
✅ Reduce maternal and child mortality
✅ Combat communicable diseases
New Health Facility to Serve Ho West
The newly launched health center in Abutia Kpota will provide essential medical services, helping bridge healthcare gaps in rural communities. Ambassador Park also revealed Korea’s plans to expand the Ho Teaching Hospital, further strengthening Ghana’s health infrastructure.
A Decade of Strong Healthcare Support
For over ten years, Korea, through the Korea Foundation for International Healthcare (KOFIH), has been a key partner in Ghana’s health sector development. This latest investment reinforces the strong bilateral ties between the two nations.
Local leaders and health officials have praised the initiative, highlighting its impact on enhancing healthcare access in underserved areas. As Ghana continues working toward a stronger, more inclusive healthcare system, partnerships like this remain essential in ensuring quality healthcare for all citizens.
