Government has been commended by civil society organizations for fulfilling the 2025 Vaccine Co-Financing Obligation, urging governments continued commitment to the domestic resource mobilization drive.
Government of Ghana (GoG) has made payment of USD 24.5 million in the bid to fulfill its 2025 co-financing obligation of vaccine supply.
This decisive action secures the country’s vaccine supply for the year and demonstrates strong political will to protect the health of every child in Ghana. It also marks a significant step towards preventing vaccine shortages and safeguarding the nation’s immunization programme.
While celebrating this milestone, Hope for Future Generations (HFFG) and its partner CSO’S, call on the government to prioritize long-term domestic resource mobilisation as a strategic pathway towards vaccine sovereignty.
This includes exploring mechanisms for advance payments, the involvement of the private sector, and the provision of clear immunization lines into national budget frameworks to ensure that vaccine security is not dependent on emergency measures.
In a statement, they noted that Vaccines are one of the most cost-effective health interventions and now is the time to move from reactive financing to a sustainable and fully domestically resourced vaccine program.
HFFG reaffirms its commitment to working with government, parliament, development partners, and communities to strengthen health systems and ensure no child in Ghana dies from a vaccine-preventable disease.
