Ghana has entered into a bilateral agreement with the Government of Grenada to enable the recruitment of Ghanaian nurses and allied health professionals to support the Caribbean nation’s healthcare system.

The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), signed in Accra on Friday, October 17,2025 forms part of ongoing efforts to strengthen cooperation in health, education, and cultural exchange between the two nations.

Ghana’s Foreign Affairs Minister, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, signed the pact on behalf of Ghana, while Joseph Andall, Grenada’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, represented his country.

The signing coincided with a working visit by Grenadian Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell to the Jubilee House.

President John Dramani Mahama described the agreement as a “mutually beneficial partnership” that underscores Ghana’s growing global reputation for producing highly skilled and compassionate healthcare workers.

“In the health sector, Grenada’s interest in recruiting Ghanaian nurses and allied health professionals presents a valuable opportunity for structured collaboration between our two countries,” President Mahama said.

He commended the professionalism of Ghanaian health workers and expressed optimism that the arrangement would both address domestic employment opportunities and contribute to strengthening Grenada’s healthcare delivery.

The President further noted that the partnership was one of the key outcomes of the inaugural Ghana–Grenada Political Consultations, co-chaired on October 16 by Ministers Ablakwa and Andall.

“I’m confident that this mechanism will produce practical outcomes that deepen political, economic, and cultural engagements between our two nations,” he added.

President Mahama hailed the growing ties between Accra and St. George’s as a model of South–South cooperation, emphasizing that both countries are committed to leveraging their strengths for shared prosperity and development.
