Turkish government to invest over $100 million in Ghana's health and agriculture sectors

The Turkish government has said it plans to invest over $100 million in Ghana's health and agricultural sectors.

This decision is due to the abundant investment opportunities in the country.

A delegation of Turkish businessmen is currently in Ghana to explore viable business opportunities, particularly in the health and agricultural sectors.

As reported by 3news.com, the delegation will visit various health facilities and farming communities to conduct preliminary assessments and gather first-hand information on potential investment projects that could support the government's development agenda.

Upon arrival in Accra, Zerrin Gelik, a member of the delegation, expressed the team's intention, with the support of the Turkish government, to invest over $100 million in both sectors.

Gelik, who is also a gynaecologist, highlighted plans to provide health education alongside the construction of hospitals in various parts of the country.

Gelik noted that Ghana remains an attractive investment destination in the sub-region, with significant business potential in health and agriculture, which prompted the delegation's visit.

George Nti Bonsu, the business initiator for the projects in Ghana, stated that this long-term project aims to create job opportunities, particularly in healthcare services.

The investment will also focus on developing the agricultural sector, leveraging the availability of arable lands across the country.

Bonsu mentioned the Turkish partners' readiness to engage in mechanised agriculture to produce food crops that are not heavily dependent on rainfall.

The initiative is expected to provide substantial support to Ghana's development agenda, enhancing both the health and agricultural sectors.
