In a significant step toward enhancing healthcare investment across Africa, Ambassador Nancy Q. Sam led a delegation from WHX Informa, including the Vice President and Corporate Director, to meet with Ghana's Minister of Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh.

The meeting culminated in the signing of a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Ministry of Health and WHX Informa Markets, one of the world’s leading organizers of international health summits.

The agreement paves the way for Ghana to host the 2025 International Ministerial Health Summit, scheduled for December 8–10, 2025, under the theme “Financing Healthcare for Africa.”

The summit is set to become a major platform for African nations and global stakeholders to explore sustainable strategies for transforming the continent’s healthcare systems.

The signing ceremony took place at the Ministry of Health in Accra and brought together several high-level officials and partners.

“This is a major opportunity for Ghana and the continent to lead a transformative conversation about healthcare investment,” said the Minister of Health.

The delegation, led by Ambassador Nancy Q. Sam—President of Women in Tourism Ghana, Vice President of the ECOWAS Tourism Private Sector Confederation, and Tourism Ambassador for Miami—included David Sam, Thomas Coleman (Corporate Director, Informa Markets), and Madam Solenne Singer (Vice President, Informa Markets), along with other senior officials from the Ministry of Health and the Presidency.

The 2025 summit is expected to attract global leaders, policymakers, healthcare innovators, and investors from both the public and private sectors.

Key discussions will focus on healthcare financing, public-private partnerships, medical infrastructure, and innovations aimed at improving health outcomes across Africa.

Informa Markets, renowned for organizing high-profile international events across various sectors, expressed strong confidence in Ghana’s capacity to host a world-class summit.

The summit is expected to draw major global healthcare giants, including Siemens, Roche, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and many others.
