President Barack Obama begins a packed day in Ghana with a morning meeting in Accra with Ghanaian President John Atta Mills.

It's Obama's first visit as president to sub-Saharan Africa.

After the bilateral meeting and breakfast, Obama will join first lady Michelle Obama at an event focusing on maternal health.

The president will then address Ghana's Parliament.

After that, the first family heads out of the capital for a tour of the Cape Coast Castle before returning for a departure ceremony and a flight back to Washington.
