Summary: 

The MIDA Ghana Health project contributes to the development of human resources in the health sector in Ghana. Ghanaian and other African migrants in EU countries can transfer knowledge, skills and experience through temporary assignments to Ghana. Also, health workers from Ghana have the opportunity to engage in specialized training at health care institutions in the Netherlands, Germany or the United Kingdom.

The project is implemented by IOM in close cooperation with the Ministry of Health of Ghana and Ghanaian diaspora groups in Europe.

The MIDA Ghana Health project started in 2002 and finished in December 2012. The project was linked to the five-year Human Resources Policies & Strategies (HRPS) for the Health Sector 2007-2011, as defined by the Ministry of Health of Ghana.
