National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama, has outlined plans to prioritize affordable healthcare if elected in the upcoming December elections. Addressing the public in Bodom, Nkoranza North, after commissioning a maternity and children’s ward alongside his wife, Lordina Mahama, he highlighted rising healthcare costs and inadequate infrastructure as urgent issues needing reform.
Mahama reaffirmed his commitment to free primary healthcare, stressing that accessible healthcare should be available for all, particularly underserved communities. He noted that while healthcare facilities exist, the financial barriers prevent many Ghanaians from accessing necessary care. He emphasized that his administration would focus on improving healthcare infrastructure and broadening access to essential services.
Additionally, Mahama announced a plan to provide free sanitary pads to schoolgirls, aiming to improve female students’ school attendance. He acknowledged that some girls miss school due to a lack of affordable sanitary products and described this initiative as a vital support to their health and education, ensuring they can continue their studies uninterrupted.
