The Centre for Health System Strengthening was invited by the U.S Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to a 2-day Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA) partners meeting. The main aim of the meeting was to bring together key GHSA stakeholders and partners to discuss current programming as well as future plans. These stakeholders include the Ministry of Health, Ghana Health Service, CDC, Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) and other partners such as WHO, GIZ, CfHSS, APHL, IQLS, GlobalFund, NMIMR, JICA, and FHI 360.  The meeting also sought to facilitate discussions of synergies between partners that can be leveraged to achieve program goals.  This was held on 6th -7th October, 2021 at Aqua Safari, Ada.

Below are some highlights of the program:
