Ghana has launched a new health security coordination platform led by World Health Organization and co-chaired by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The initiative aims to improve emergency preparedness and response.
The platform addresses coordination gaps exposed during outbreaks between 2022 and 2025, including mpox and cholera. A coordinated response during mpox mobilised about $800,000 and kept mortality at around 0.7%, with partners meeting bi-monthly to implement a five-year action plan.
