Vice President, Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia on Sunday, 15th December 2019, inspected ongoing works at the site for the third medical drone delivery service at Kukua near Walewale in the North East Region.
The facility, when completed in January 2020, will host the largest warehouse under the drone programme and immediately serve 60 health facilities, with an expected scale up to 500 health facilities within a 100km radius in the five northern regions by the end of 2020.
The Vice President, however, expressed satisfaction at the pace of work, noting that it was another component of the overall effort by the Government to make healthcare more accessible to Ghanaians.
The first center to be established was the Omenako facility in the Suhum municipality of the Eastern Region with the second situated at Mampong in the Ashanti Region.
