Mahama to improve healthcare

Meanwhile, President John Dramani Mahama has pledged to improve Ghana's public health system in anticipation of new diseases and pandemics.

Addressing Ghanaians during his inauguration, Mahama said the effects of climate change, particularly in the Arctic Circle, have led to the melting of the snow cap and permafrost, which is releasing ancient viruses and bacteria into the atmosphere, causing diseases.

He noted that globalisation and the ease of moving from one geographical area to another have increased the rate at which diseases spread worldwide.

Several heads of state in Africa attended the inauguration, which was held at the Black Star Square.
