Ghana Declines Proposed U.S. Health Aid Deal Over Data Concerns

Ghana has rejected a proposed U.S. health aid deal citing concerns over data terms, a source familiar with the negotiations said. The five-year agreement, initiated in November, would have provided $109 million in U.S. health assistance. Similar issues have affected deals with Zimbabwe and Kenya. The U.S. State Department declined to disclose negotiation details but affirmed ongoing efforts to strengthen bilateral partnerships. The aid aligns with the Trump administration's 'America First Global Health Strategy,' which emphasizes transitioning poorer nations toward self-reliance in combating diseases.
