Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) John Mahama has pledged to prioritise the health of Ghanaians when elected as President in the December 7 election.
The former President has announced plans to expand health infrastructure and implement policies that will improve healthcare delivery.
Speaking at the launch of the NDC manifesto launch in Winneba, he announced plans to implement Free Primary Healthcare services from the CHPS compound level to the district level in the medium term.
Also, Mr Mahama has pledged to construct a state of the art 500-bed Specialist Children’s Hospital and Fertility Centre in Accra.
“Expand facilities at the Ho Teaching Hospital to provide comprehensive specialist services with the view to establishing a quaternary hospital in the Volta region to attract medical tourism.
“Build a Specialist and Trauma Hospital in the Oti Region for emergencies on the eastern corridor and establish a modern dialysis centre in hospitals in regions that don’t have them,” he stated.
Additionally, Mr Mahama has said he will build modern hospitals in Bawku, Yendi and other underserved areas.
Furthermore, the NDC flagbearer has pledged to expand health infrastructure to restore the automatic employment and timely deployment of health workers.
