The U.S. Government, through USAID, has donated three 2024 double-cabin Nissan Navara pickups to the Ghana Health Service. These vehicles will be used in the Western, Western North, and Ahafo Regional Health Directorates to help improve healthcare delivery in remote areas.
The donation is part of the ongoing USAID Care Continuum Project, which aims to enhance primary healthcare in 29 districts across these regions. The vehicles will allow healthcare staff to provide better oversight and deliver essential medical supplies to underserved communities.
Dr. Stephen Dzisi, Acting Health Office Director at USAID/Ghana, emphasized the U.S. commitment to strengthening Ghana’s health system, noting that the donation reflects efforts to improve healthcare access and services. Dr. Emmanuel Atsu Dodor, Ahafo Regional Health Director, expressed gratitude, acknowledging the critical support the vehicles will offer to reach more communities.
Since October 2019, USAID has provided a wide range of resources through the Care Continuum Project, including hospital beds, motorbikes, refurbished vehicles, and ICT tools. In 2023, USAID allocated over $90 million to support Ghana’s health sector, focusing on areas such as malaria, maternal and child health, HIV, and global health security.
USAID is the U.S. Government’s lead agency in global development efforts, working towards reducing poverty and promoting resilient, democratic societies worldwide. Through this partnership with Ghana, USAID aims to advance sustainable development and improve health outcomes across the country.
