The Chief Executive Officer of BDAC Ghana Limited, Mr. Ammishaddai Ofori highlighted the company's extensive experience working across multiple sectors with local and international partners in Ghana and across Africa. He expressed BDAC's readiness to support IATC and its clients in their business endeavors in Ghana.
Investment Interests
The Trade Commissioner of IATC and leader of the delegation, Dr. Chetna Ilpate expressed strong interest in investing in key sectors of the Ghanaian economy, including health and pharmaceuticals, agro-processing, tourism, mining, and energy.
As part of their visit, the IATC delegation paid a courtesy call on Dr. Okoe Boye, the Minister of Health Designate. During the meeting, Dr. Boye briefed the delegation on the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) and its role in healthcare cost coverage for registered Ghanaians. Discussions on health sector projects, particularly in cancer care, are expected to commence once Dr. Boye assumes office. The health ministry aims to leverage the IATC – BDAC Ghana Limited partnership to attract investments in cancer care.
