John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has emphasized the pressing need for improvements in Ghana’s healthcare system, pointing to insufficient facilities and growing expenses as major problems.
Following the commissioning of a newly built maternity and children’s unit in Bodom, Nkoranza North, with his wife, Lordina Mahama, Mahama made this assertion reiterating his commitment to providing free basic healthcare for all Ghanaians.
He emphasized that focus should be given to providing affordable and easily accessible healthcare, especially for underprivileged areas.
Mahama went on to say that, should he win the elections in December, enhancing healthcare infrastructure and increasing access to necessary services would be major priorities of his administration’s agenda.
“Many Ghanaians can not access the medical care they need, sometimes not because healthcare facilities don’t exist, but because the costs are often beyond their reach.
“For this reason, among others, the next NDC government, which God willing I will lead, will prioritise critical social interventions designed to make healthcare more accessible and affordable for every Ghanaian, regardless of their socioeconomic background” he stated.
