Ghana has been selected as the first country to benefit from France’s National Health Platform following high-level talks between President John Dramani Mahama and French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris.
The announcement came after a meeting at the Élysée Palace, where both leaders explored ways to deepen cooperation across several priority sectors, including healthcare, agriculture, infrastructure, artificial intelligence, and regional security.
The National Health Platform described as a comprehensive health compact is expected to bolster Ghana’s healthcare system and support ongoing reforms. President Mahama welcomed the initiative and expressed appreciation to the French government for its partnership.
The meeting formed part of President Mahama’s one-day official visit to France, during which he also co-chaired the One Health Summit 2026 held in Lyon.
President Macron commended Mahama’s involvement in the summit and acknowledged the significance of the Accra Reset Initiative, which aims to tackle pressing global health challenges.
In addition to health, the discussions highlighted plans to expand collaboration in agriculture to boost food production, alongside new partnerships in artificial intelligence and maternal health.
