John Mahama, the flag bearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has announced his plan to build a dialysis centre in Bolgatanga, the regional capital of Upper East.
This is a significant development as it will save lives and reduce the financial burden on those who currently have to travel to Kumasi and Accra for medical care.
During an interaction with members of the Upper East Region House of Chiefs on Friday, Mr Mahama also pledged to prioritise the construction of a well-equipped polyclinic and municipal hospital to alleviate the pressure on the regional hospital.
As part of his two-day #BuildingGhanaTour, the former president also promised to open mining offices in all districts where gold is mined to decentralise the licensing of mining and regulatory operations to benefit artisanal mining in the regions.
