Welcoming the team at the Kotoka International Airport, Dr. George Sipa-Adjah Yankey, Minister of Health, expressed the hope that they will not only augment the current strength of medical professionals in the country, but will also help to administer quality health care to the people.

He said government had initiated measures to scale up the production of doctors with the corresponding facilities to meet the country’s health needs and described the Cuban team's presence as most timely.
