 <\/p>\n

The Ministry of Health (MoH), in collaboration with the Ghana Health Service and with technical support from Deutsche Gesellschaft f\u00fcr Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, has convened, under the AYA Integrated Healthcare Initiative, a high-level stakeholder validation workshop on the revised national guidelines for the prevention and management of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in Accra.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The workshop brought together key stakeholders from across the health sector, including policymakers, clinicians, health sector partners, civil society, and academia, to review and validate the revised 2019 national guidelines. These updated guidelines aim to equip healthcare providers with clear, evidence-based protocols for the prevention, early diagnosis, and effective management of CVDs at all levels of care.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Delivering the keynote address on behalf of the Hon. Minister for Health, the Deputy Minister, Hon. Prof. Dr. Grace Ayensu-Danquah, underscored the government\u2019s unwavering commitment to tackling non-communicable diseases, especially cardiovascular conditions, which remain the leading cause of death in Ghana.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cCardiovascular diseases are a silent epidemic. Our hospitals are increasingly overwhelmed by complications that could have been prevented through early diagnosis and consistent care,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cUnder the Mahama administration, we are strengthening primary healthcare and removing financial barriers to chronic care through the Ghana Medical Trust Fund, popularly known as MahamaCare. This flagship initiative will support the poor and vulnerable and invest in innovations that bring care closer to the people,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dr. Ayensu-Danquah further emphasized the need for robust partnerships in confronting the growing NCD burden, stating, \u201cAchieving our national targets for non-communicable diseases requires shared responsibility and strong collaboration across borders and sectors. The AYA Integrated Healthcare Initiative, with support from GIZ, is a testament to the kind of strategic alliance we need to drive real impact.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is expected that the draft guidelines will be validated, and the input of stakeholders incorporated into the final document.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

AYA is implemented by @GIZ International Services, in close collaboration with @Ministry of Health and the @Ghana Health Service, funded by @Bayer AG, @Sanofi, @Gates Foundation, and with support from @Panorama Global (a US charitable organisation supported by donations from @Eli Lilly and Company).<\/p>\n
