"Ghana would not sign a multi-year deal, reportedly worth around US$109 million, because Ghana would have to waive key aspects of its health sovereignty. This includes sharing control over its health care decisions, data, and resources with US authorities."
"A government source said the deal is 'dead' after US negotiators allegedly became 'hostile' and piled 'pressure' on Ghana, which pushed back on the demand for personal data."
"Ghana's government has yet to release an official statement on the deal, but Ghanaians who spoke expressed concern about the US demands for data sharing."
Ghanaian officials have decided not to proceed with a proposed $109 million health deal with the United States due to concerns over sensitive health data sharing. The deal, part of the Trump Administration's strategy, would require Ghana to increase its health investment and waive aspects of its health sovereignty. This includes sharing control over healthcare decisions and data with US authorities, which violates domestic laws. Ghana's government has not officially commented, but public sentiment reflects strong opposition to the data-sharing demands.
