Hope For Future Generations and its partners have called on the government to increase health budget allocation in order to mitigate the immunization gap in the country which has been funded by donors for years.

Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in health have bemoaned the possible challenges which were likely to be created should donors back off.
Addressing a media engagement with News Editors on Wednesday, March 31, 2021, on " Status of Immunization Financing in Ghana ", the Executive Director of Hope For Future Generation (HFFG), Ms Cecilia Senoo indicated that increased budgetary allocations by the government in that regard would help to intensify immunization, stressing that immunization has been the most effective way to control diseases.
