In a significant step toward enhancing healthcare infrastructure in Ghana and the West African sub-region, the Health Community of West Africa (HCOWA) has signed Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with approximately 25 hospitals and clinics.
This landmark agreement took place on August 28, 2024, as part of the 2024 HCOWA West Africa Medical Industry Investment Summit and Expo, held at the Grand Arena of the Accra International Conference Centre.
The MoUs were signed under the theme “Seizing the Opportunity to Rapidly Upgrade Hospitals, Clinics, and Doctors in West Africa.” The agreements outline clear objectives and commitments from both parties, setting the stage for collaborative efforts to modernize healthcare facilities across the region.
The institutions that have entered into partnership with HCOWA include notable names such as Cape Coast Teaching Hospital, County Hospitals, Jeslord Clinic, FFA Faith Hospital, Amiah Hospital, the Private Health Facilities Association of Ghana, ACH Medical Centre, Achimota Hospital, among others.
These partnerships aim to drive the upgrade of medical facilities, improve service delivery, and ensure that healthcare providers in the region have access to the latest technologies and best practices.
Anna Jiang, Chief Executive Officer of HCOWA, expressed her optimism about the potential impact of these partnerships. She believes that this collaboration will significantly advance the quality of healthcare services in the region, aligning with HCOWA’s mission to enhance medical standards and infrastructure.
HCOWA extends an invitation to other hospitals and clinics that have not yet joined this initiative to consider partnering with them. By doing so, these institutions can benefit from the comprehensive upgrade programs and contribute to the overall improvement of healthcare delivery in West Africa.
