HFFG Commends Government for Meeting Vaccine Co-Financing Commitment

Accra: Hope for Future Generations (HFFG), a non-governmental organization, has praised the Government for fully meeting its vaccine co-financing obligation by paying USD 24.5 million for the year 2025 to GAVI. This action has secured the country's vaccine supply for the year and reflects a strong political commitment to safeguarding the health of every child in Ghana.According to Ghana News Agency, the statement from HFFG emphasized that this payment is a crucial step in preventing vaccine shortages and protecting the nation's immunization program. The organization urged the Government to focus on long-term domestic resource mobilization as a strategic route towards achieving vaccine sovereignty. This includes exploring mechanisms for advance payments, engaging the private sector, and incorporating clear immunization lines into national budget frameworks to avoid reliance on emergency measures.The statement highlighted that vaccines are among the most cost-effective health interventions and called for a shift from reactive financing to a sustainable and fully domestically funded vaccine program in Ghana. HFFG reiterated its commitment to collaborating with the Government, Parliament, development partners, and communities to strengthen health systems and ensure that no child in Ghana succumbs to vaccine-preventable diseases.Hope for Future Generations, which has been operational for over 23 years, aims to enhance the well-being and quality of life for its beneficiaries and communities, focusing particularly on women, children, and young people through participatory strategies and rights-based approaches. The organization operates offices in nine regions but extends its efforts across all 16 regions of Ghana.
