Ghana has been selected as the first beneficiary of France’s National Health Platform following high-level bilateral talks between President John Dramani Mahama and French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris.
The announcement was made during a meeting at the Élysée Palace, where both leaders discussed a broad range of issues including health, agriculture, infrastructure, artificial intelligence, and regional security.
The National Health Platform, described as a health compact, is expected to strengthen Ghana’s healthcare system and support ongoing reforms in the sector.
President Mahama welcomed the development and expressed appreciation to the French government for the partnership.
The meeting formed part of President Mahama’s one-day official visit to France, which also saw him co-chair the One Health Summit 2026 in Lyon.
President Macron commended his Ghanaian counterpart for his role at the summit and acknowledged the importance of the Accra Reset Initiative, which was highlighted during the global gathering.
President Mahama noted that the initiative had produced tangible outcomes that could be built upon, particularly in addressing global health challenges.
Beyond health, the two leaders explored areas of cooperation in agriculture to enhance food security and promote year-round farming, as well as partnerships in artificial intelligence and maternal health.
The engagement reaffirmed the strong bilateral relationship between Ghana and France, underpinned by shared commitments to democratic governance, a rules-based international order, and global peace and security.
