Ghana’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, Hon. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has formally received a high‑level delegation of African leaders arriving in Accra for the Extraordinary Session of the African Union Assembly on health.
Among those welcomed were the President of Burundi and current Chairperson of the African Union, H.E. Évariste Ndayishimiye; Ethiopia’s Deputy Prime Minister, H.E. Temesgen Tiruneh; and the Chairperson of the African Union Commission, H.E. Mahmoud Ali Youssouf, alongside ministers from across the continent.
The summit, scheduled for July 21–22, 2026, will focus on ending AIDS by 2030, addressing preventable maternal deaths, and tackling both communicable and non‑communicable diseases.
Officials say the gathering reflects Africa’s collective determination to strengthen health systems and accelerate progress toward the continent’s 2030 health goals.
