As part of activities to develop the bilateral relations between the Czech Republic and the Republic of Ghana, the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Ghana organised the Czech – Ghana Health Care and Pharmaceutical Business Cooperation Seminar on Tuesday May 2, 2023 at the Movenpick Ambassador Hotel in Accra.
The event was organised in collaboration with the Ghana Chamber of Commerce and Industries, Association of Ghana Industries, Ghana National Chamber of Pharmacy, Health Care Federation Ghana, and Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC).
The Seminar provided a platform for entrepreneurs and businesses from the Ghanaian Healthcare and Pharmaceutical sector to engage and explore collaborations with their counterparts from the Czech Republic in attendance.
In his opening remarks, His Excellency Ján Füry, Ambassador of the Czech Republic in Ghana thanks all the participants for making time to attend the very important event, which seeks to take the cooperation between the two countries to another level, especially for players within the Healthcare and Pharmaceutical sector. He went on to introduce His Excellency Vít Rakušan, the First Deputy Prime Minister of the Czech Republic.
On his part, H.E Vít Rakušan reiterated the strategic bilateral relations between Ghana and the Czech Republic over the years and highlighted pragmatic steps being taken by the Czech Republic to ensure the relationship between the two countries is deepened through various collaborations.
“Ghana is very important to the Czech Republic and we consider Ghana as a strategic partner across the West African sub-region. Ghana is fast becoming a destination for Czech businesses and this is evident in our visit to Ghana and this morning’s event, which provides for a face-to-face meeting between officials of the Czech companies we have here and their Ghanaian partners. We are looking forward to some great partnerships from this event”, he emphasised.
The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre, Mr. Yofi Grant thanked the Czech Government for choosing Ghana as an investment destination in Africa. He highlighted Ghana’s strong democratic credentials, and conducive business atmosphere, which has made the country a safe haven for investors.
He further assured the Czech delegation that Ghana is open to welcoming investors from the Czech Republic to invest and do business in Ghana. He added that the government of Ghana through the GIPC would continue to work closely with the Czech Republic through high-level political and business fora to promote trade and investment between the two countries.
Officials of the Czech Health Care and Pharmaceutical companies that participated in the seminar included Royax Group, Comedeq, Linet, MZ Liberec, MB Pharma, Draslovka, and the Association of Manufacturers and Suppliers of medical devices.
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has directed all aspirants campaigning in the Greater Accra Region to suspend their campaign activities on August 5 and 6 and instead mobilise supporters for the party’s planned “Democracy Under Attack” demonstration.
The directive was issued by the party’s National Steering Committee in a statement signed by the NPP General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, on Tuesday.
According to the statement, the decision forms part of efforts to ensure a strong turnout for the demonstration, which is scheduled for Thursday, August 6, 2026.
The party said the protest would begin at 5:00 a.m., with participants expected to gather at the Supreme Court in Accra.
It further directed Regional, Constituency and Polling Station Executives in Greater Accra to work closely to mobilise members and supporters for the event.
“The National Steering Committee is calling on all aspirants currently campaigning across the Greater Accra Region to temporarily suspend their campaign activities on the 5th and 6th of August and join in mobilising support for the upcoming demonstration,” the statement noted.
The NPP appealed to party members and supporters to remain peaceful, disciplined and orderly throughout the protest.
The demonstration forms part of the party’s response to concerns it has raised over issues relating to Ghana’s democratic governance and the justice system.
The NPP leadership expressed confidence that party members would cooperate fully to ensure a successful and peaceful event.

Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, has announced that the government has accepted the recommendation to abolish the death penalty and replace it with life imprisonment as part of the constitutional review process.
He said the proposed amendment would affect Articles 3, 13, 19 and 72 of the 1992 Constitution, with offences that previously attracted the death penalty instead carrying life imprisonment.
Dr. Ayine made the announcement on July 30, 2026, at the Jubilee House in Accra during the Government Accountability Series while outlining the government’s position on the final recommendations of the Constitution Review Committee.
According to him, the government believes the death penalty is inconsistent with the constitutional right to life and Ghana’s international human rights obligations.
He explained that the recommendation forms part of broader proposals aimed at strengthening the protection of fundamental human rights under the Constitution.
Dr. Ayine said the government had also accepted the spirit of several recommendations to expand rights relating to women, children, persons with disabilities, older persons and the youth.
He added that a comprehensive Human Rights Act would be introduced to protect these rights and provide detailed enforcement mechanisms instead of amending the entrenched provisions of the Constitution through a national referendum.
