加纳总统 John Dramani Mahama 先生重申了他强化加纳公共卫生系统的承诺，目的是为了应对未来可能由持续气候危机加剧的健康挑战，包括潜在的疫情。

在 2025 年 1 月 7 日的就职典礼上，Mahama 总统提出了他对一个强大医疗保健系统的构想，该系统能够抵御未来的全球健康威胁。

在黑星广场的就职演说中，Mahama 总统指出了气候变化与公共卫生之间的紧密联系。他描述了由日益严重的气候危机带来的严峻风险，认为这可能导致本以为已被根除的病毒重新出现。

Mahama 总统还提醒人们注意过去流行病对家庭和社区，尤其是邻国的影响，强调了加强准备的紧迫性。

他说：“随着气候危机的加剧，那些被认为已经灭绝数十年的病毒有可能重新传播，引发新的流行病。这是一个严肃的挑战。我们不能忘记过去病毒流行病对邻国家庭和社区的影响。因此，我的政府将致力于加强公共卫生系统，并密切关注全球健康动态，以便在新的流行病或大流行病爆发时，尽可能减少损失。”

I'll Prioritise Public Health to Minimise Impact of Potential Pandemics – Mahama

President John Dramani Mahama has reaffirmed his commitment to strengthening Ghana’s public health systems to prepare the nation for future health challenges, including potential pandemics exacerbated by the ongoing climate crisis.

Speaking at his inauguration ceremony on January 7, President Mahama outlined his vision for a robust healthcare system capable of safeguarding the well-being of Ghanaians against emerging global threats.

In his inaugural address at the Black Star Square, President Mahama emphasised the interplay between climate change and public health.

He painted a sobering picture of the risks posed by the worsening climate crisis, which he described as a catalyst for the resurgence of viruses previously thought to be eradicated.

Mahama also drew the crowd’s attention to the toll past epidemics have taken on families and communities, particularly in neighboring countries, underscoring the urgent need for preparedness.

“With the increase of the climate crisis, there is a likelihood of viruses that have been thought to be extinct for decades to begin to spread and create another pandemic.

“This is a serious challenge and so let us not forget the toll that the past epidemics of viruses had on families and communities in our neighbouring countries and to that end, my government will be working diligently to strengthen our public health systems while monitoring the global health situation so that when the next pandemic or epidemic occurs, the loss will be minimal.”
