On behalf of the distinguished nutritionists and dietitians in Ghana, the Governing Board of the Ghana Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (GAND) wishes to extend our heartfelt congratulations on your successful swearing-in as the President of the Republic of Ghana. Your impressive electoral success is a testament to the profound faith the people of Ghana have in your leadership, vision, and steadfast dedication to the nation’s progress.
As the national body representing dietetics and nutrition professionals in Ghana, GAND is eager to partner with your esteemed administration in advancing the health and nutritional wellbeing of our country. We are confident that, under your guidance, Ghana will make significant strides in enhancing food security and public health outcomes.
The rising prevalence of disease conditions related to the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages and foods high in fats and sodium presents a significant challenge to the nutritional health of our nation. The Academy remains committed to offering our expertise and support to your administration as we work together to confront this pressing concern.
We look forward to a fruitful collaboration with your government in the coming years to champion initiatives that prioritize the health and wellbeing of all Ghanaians. Once again, we extend our warmest congratulations on your achievement. We wish you a prosperous New Year and a successful term in office.
Joseph B. Danquah
