The Deputy Minister of Trade and Industry Hon Michael Okyere Baafi has said the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) is a blessing to Africa, insisting that Africans must do well to protect and make sure it works for all.

According to him, manufacturers and producers must push the African leaders to ratify the agreement, especially the countries that have not ratified yet to help realise the African dream.

He made this observation at the opening ceremony of the West Africa Pharma and Healthcare exhibition on the theme: "The Compete International Exhibition of Pharmaceutical Medical and Healthcare Industry in Ghana" at the Accra International Conference Centre on 27th April 2022.

Indian High commissioner to Ghana H.E Mr Sugandh Rajaram commended the organizers for organizing such an exhibition for manufacturers and distributors in Ghana. He stressed that the relationship between Ghana and India cannot be overemphasis. He added that the event will go a long way to strengthen the good relationship between the two countries.

H.E. Rajaram indicated that the West Africa Pharma Exhibition is very important because the health sector is very important to the India-Ghana economy engagement.

Thomas James, Project Director West Africa Pharma Exhibition said, the exhibition seeks to create a platform for all stakeholders in the pharmaceutical industry to dialogue and do business.
