ACCRA, Aug. 6 (Xinhua) — The African Health Sovereignty Summit opened in Ghana's capital Accra on Tuesday with a call to rethink global health governance amid a rapidly changing geopolitical and economic landscape.
Convened by Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama, the summit aims to usher in a new era of health sovereignty based on national ownership, investment and leadership.
J.D. Mahama called for efforts to redesign the architecture that failed to take into account the voices, needs and innovations of Africa during the opening.
Ghana's President said Africa needs to develop a health system that not only responds to health crises but also builds resilience, promotes equality and enhances the dignity of its people. He also called for a new approach to health financing on the continent.
“I extend an open invitation to all countries represented here to join us in building an ecosystem of health investment in Africa that is driven by purpose, grounded in equity and rooted in our sovereignty,” the President added.
The summit was also attended by high-level officials, including World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and senior officials from other African countries. –0–
