A question that no one is asking before accepting these so called medicine donations is why are countries that people cannot afford health care and medicine, want to donate those same medicines to Africans. It cost so much money in the U.S to buy meds, but everyday we hear they are making donation to Ghana. What is the real reason?

You are poor and you want to compare yourself to the USA. Your government even goes out to beg. Your first lady has been donating few medical equipment and medicines; where does she get them from??? They are all (mostly) donations!!! How long does it take her to clear them from the ports??? How much does she pay to clear them???
You people will always attempt to defend this useless government and its agencies.

The reason why healthcare cost more in USA is because the system is expensive. Even janitor who cleans hospital makes more than nurses in Ghana.

Why would drugs which arrived into the country last year expire this year. Most of these so called donors bring drugs which are on the verge of expiry claiming they are doing something good for Ghana

Some or most drugs are required to be stored at cool temperatures. I am sure that warehouse had no temperature control.

Parker, why don't you go and source medication that does not ever expire for Ghana? Some of you useless fellows always find fault with the little effort that others make for this country. Try to do something worthwhile for Ghana instead of sitting on your lazy bum behind a computer typing idiotic drivel.

The problem is not about the medication about to expire. The problem is, why should the medication be kept at Customs for any length of time? Even if the medication is useful for one month, it should be used to help someone. Ghana is full of nonsense. We depend on "hand-outs" for everything. If we don't like medications near expiring, why don't we buy our own which will have longer expiring date?

How could these drugs have expired just due to delay in clearing. This means the product was donated just as it was about to expire. That is a disgrace and whoever donated this should be ashamed of themselves. Trying to behave as a good samaritan but in reality dumping expired goods under the guise of donation and taking a tax deduction in the USA for charity works.

I agree stupid people, some medication can be used after expired within six months, don't blame the people who sent them blame your leaders.

There should have been a simple clearing system to aid a speedy clearing when goods are drugs for specific purpose.
