During my tour of Global Mercy, the world’s largest civilian hospital ship docked at Tema Port, I was deeply moved by my interactions with fellow Ghanaians undergoing life-changing treatments, including childhood orthopaedic conditions, many of whom had waited years to receive them. I welcomed the Mercy Ships team back to Ghana for their fifth mission since 1991. In a world where countries and individuals are increasingly focused on self-interest, Mercy Ships remains a floating vessel of true mercy and humanism. Its impact in Ghana is remarkable. During its 10-month stay, the mission will continue to provide direct patient care while training local health workers alongside its international medical team. On a lighter note, as someone who had never sailed on a ship before, I expected us to be walking like sailors. I was pleasantly surprised by how steady and stable the ship is. It felt just like any modern hospital on land. My sincere gratitude to the dedicated medical crew, volunteers,...

*By Mel Kwesi Davis* - Event Consultant and Vice President FOCAP Sometimes, the most important lessons for an industry are not found in boardrooms, policy documents or conferences. They are found in what happens when the rubber meets the road. Over the past few weeks, London has provided Ghana with precisely such a lesson. On August 15, 2026, Stonebwoy took his BHIM Festival to the OVO Arena Wembley, becoming the first Ghanaian artiste to headline the iconic venue. The venue itself lists the concert as a self-produced headline performance and describes it as a defining moment in Stonebwoy's career and a reflection of years of international touring and strategic positioning. Just two weeks earlier, on August 1, Shatta Wale's ShattaFest UK, also known as Ghana Party in the Park, was cancelled after police intervened following serious overcrowding and a crowd crush outside the Copthall Playing Fields venue. Authorities reportedly determined that the venue had exceeded its approved...
