Yellow fever certificate
Arriving from Ghana, a yellow fever certificate is required: WHO lists Ghana as a transmission risk.
Driving on a Ghana license
Ghana is party to the 1949 Geneva Convention and Guyana to the 1968 Vienna Convention. They share none, so no treaty obliges Guyana to recognize an International Driving Permit issued in Ghana.
Whether a permit is required alongside your national license is set by national road law, which we have not checked for this pair.
