The U.S. Embassy under thenGhana Integrated Health Program (IHP), has donated 104 motorbikes to the Ghana Health Service and the Christian Health Association of Ghana (CHAG) to support healthcare delivery across the country, particularly in remote and underserved communities.
Of the total, 90 bikes were allocated to GHS and 14 to CHAG to complement their efforts in line of duties.
The donation, according to the donor aims to strengthen primary healthcare, improve disease surveillance, and enhance maternal and child health outreach by equipping frontline workers with reliable means of transport.
