The Ghana Health Service (GHS) has introduced a mandatory Health Declaration Form for all travellers arriving in Ghana, effective Thursday, November 12, 2026.
Under the new directive, all passengers travelling to Ghana will be required to complete and submit the online health declaration form before boarding their flights.
In a public notice issued by the Ghana Health Service, the measure was announced as part of efforts to strengthen the country’s public health surveillance and preparedness systems.
The Service said the requirement followed an earlier announcement by the Minister of Health and was intended to improve the monitoring of potential public health risks while protecting the health and safety of residents and visitors.
Travellers have been directed to complete the form through the official Ghana Health Service portal at https://ehds.ghs.gov.gh/declaration before embarking on their journeys to Ghana.
The directive applies to all passengers arriving in the country, with the Service urging prospective travellers to comply to avoid difficulties during their travel.
The Ghana Health Service also called on airlines, travel agencies and other relevant stakeholders to inform passengers about the new requirement ahead of their departure.
It said passengers needed to be adequately informed to ensure a smooth travel process and prevent situations where travellers arrived at the airport without completing the mandatory declaration.
The introduction of the form was expected to strengthen Ghana’s ability to monitor possible health threats and improve its preparedness to respond to public health emergencies.
The Service explained that the measure formed part of broader efforts to safeguard public health and enhance the country’s capacity to identify and monitor potential risks associated with international travel.
It, therefore, urged all travellers to take the necessary steps to complete and submit the form before departure.
The Director-General of the Ghana Health Service, Dr Samuel Kaba Akoriyea, signed the notice announcing the directive.
The Service expressed appreciation to travellers, airlines and other stakeholders for their cooperation and understanding as the new requirement took effect.
It further encouraged the public to rely on the official Ghana Health Service platform for the completion of the declaration form.
