Six major civil society organizations in Ghana have threatened to stage a demonstration if the Government fails to address concerns about 40 million US Dollars worth of health commodities locked up at the Tema Port.

They include the leadership of the coalition of CSO Networks in HIV, TB and Malaria.

Addressing a press conference on Monday in Accra, the CSOs frowned at continued delays in clearing the medicines which have been stuck at the port since May 2023.

The commodities comprise Antiretroviral for HIV treatments, Tuberculosis and Malaria medicines among others.

The organization argued that the situation has created shortages of medical drugs in several health facilities across Ghana putting lives at risk.

Elsie Ayeh, is President of the Network of Persons Living with HIV.
