President John Dramani Mahama has reaffirmed his government’s commitment to improving healthcare and welfare for military personnel and their families, with a firm pledge to complete and equip the Kumasi Military Hospital at Afari in the Central Command.
Speaking at the graduation ceremony of officer cadets at the Ghana Military Academy on Friday, April 11, the President emphasized that the well-being of the armed forces is a top priority for his administration.
“Soldiers and civilian staff, your health is a priority. We will complete and furnish the Kumasi Military Hospital and have also budgeted for a military field hospital in Tamale. Our goal is to ensure that you and your families have access to quality healthcare,” he said.
President Mahama also outlined plans to improve conditions of service for both active and retired personnel. He highlighted ongoing efforts to enhance working environments, ensure fair compensation, and guarantee the timely payment of retirement benefits.
“Your sacrifices deserve recognition. GEHOC will be a key partner in providing sustainable financing for the Ghana Armed Forces. And for our retired officers, we will ensure prompt payment of all entitlements,” he assured.
