Grenada and Ghana sign landmark health cooperation agreement

In a landmark move to enhance bilateral health cooperation, Grenada and Ghana have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that will facilitate the temporary deployment of Ghanaian registered nurses to Grenada. The agreement, formalized in Accra, Ghana, marks a significant step in addressing Grenada’s healthcare workforce shortages while providing Ghanaian nurses with international exposure and professional development opportunities. The MOU was signed by Grenada’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, Trade and Export Development, the Honourable Joseph Andall, and Ghana’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, the Honourable Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, during an official visit by Grenada’s Prime Minister, the Honourable Dickon Mitchell. This initiative is expected to improve healthcare delivery in Grenada, strengthen public health responses, and foster sustainable development in Ghana’s health sector. Beyond healthcare, the agreement symbolizes a broader effort to deepen Caribbean-African ties and advance South-South cooperation. Both governments anticipate that this partnership will serve as a model for future collaboration in education, trade, and capacity building under the Africa–Caricom framework. Prime Minister Mitchell emphasized the shared commitment to improving citizens’ quality of life through enhanced healthcare services, reinforcing the friendly relationship between the two nations. The MOU will take effect upon the completion of internal ratification processes in both countries.
