Our History
At the inaugural meeting, the then Ghana High Commissioner to the UK, Mr Annan Cato, gave the keynote address, commending the association and expounding the progress of healthcare in Ghana, especially with regards to the new Ghana Health Insurance Scheme (GHIS), fairer remuneration for the care provided for healthcare workers and the desire for the nation to prevent its professionals from seeking greener pasture abroad.
Since that first meeting, the GDDA-UK has continued to grow into a vibrant organisation with a rich tapestry incorporating not only medics and dentists but also nurses, lawyers & accountants. Going forward, we hope to continue building alliances with other professions to strengthen our community and work for a better Ghana.
Our prime objectives is to provide support and advocacy for our members and promote the health of Ghanaians based in the UK. We want to equip our members to serve effectively in their chosen profession both in the UK and at home.
Encourage our members to give of their time & expertise to support health care in Ghana on a voluntary basis
Provide clinical, leadership and educational resources and training to institutions in Ghana
