The Ghana Health Service marked World Malaria Day 2025 with a national event at the Dome of Christ Temple East, Teshie, in the Ledzokuku Municipality, under the theme “Malaria Ends With Us: Reinvest, Reimagine, Reignite.”
In the keynote address, read on behalf of the Minister for Health, the Ag. Director-General, Prof. Samuel Kaba Akoriyea highlighted Ghana’s 97% reduction in malaria deaths over the past decade and called for renewed community ownership and cross-sector investment to eliminate malaria.
He also announced the inclusion of persons with disabilities as ambassadors in all public health campaigns, promoting a more inclusive, people-led approach.
A major highlight was the National Malaria Quiz Competition held last month. Today, prizes were officially presented to the winners, first and second runners-up, with Holy Child R/C Basic School emerging as overall champions!
The event re-echoed a renewed call for a united front, anchored in ownership, innovation, and reinvestment in the nation’s ongoing efforts to eliminate malaria in Ghana.
