 HEALTH MINISTER COMMENDS CHAG’s ROLE IN UPHOLDING COMPASSION AND ETHICS IN HEALTHCARE

The Minister for Health, Hon. Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, has commended the Christian Health Association of Ghana (CHAG) for its unwavering dedication to compassionate healthcare delivery and ethical leadership, describing the organization as a true partner in advancing Ghana’s health agenda.

Speaking at CHAG’s 5th Annual General Conference held under the theme “Sustaining Christian Identity, Values, and Ethics in Health Systems Strengthening,” the Minister praised the Association for its decades-long contribution to national health delivery, especially in underserved and remote communities.


He emphasized that healthcare delivery must go beyond technical precision to embrace compassion and empathy, saying, “Patients often feel treated, but not always cared for. This conference calls us to restore the soul of healthcare, where every encounter becomes a touch of grace.”


The Minister announced that the Ministry will deepen support for CHAG’s training institutions, promote ethical leadership, and integrate CHAG’s core values into the upcoming Health Sector Medium-Term Development Plan (2026–2029).

Touching on new health initiatives, Hon. Akandoh highlighted the government’s Free Primary Healthcare Policy and MahamaCares as transformative efforts to ensure no Ghanaian is denied care due to cost or geography.

He noted that CHAG’s extensive presence in hard-to-reach areas makes it an indispensable partner in implementing these programmes.

“Where resources are limited, values and faith multiply impact,” the Minister remarked.

Hon. Akandoh pledged greater collaboration between the Ministry and private-sector actors, such as CHAG, to complete the government’s Agenda 111 project. He expressed gratitude on behalf of government and President John Dramani Mahama, describing CHAG’s mission as “a sacred calling to heal, uplift, and protect life.”
