Mahama to improve healthcare

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

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

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

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