In his last address, the President of Ghana, President Nana Addo revealed that his government will be building 88 district hospitals in the country within a year.
Additionally, he noted that old ones will be renovated and the whole health sector will be improved. In his address he said;
There are eighty-eight (88) districts in our country without district hospitals; we have six (6) new regions without regional hospitals; we do not have infectious disease control centres dotted across the country, and we do not have enough testing and isolation centres for diseases like COVD-19. We must do something urgently about this. That is why the Government has decided to undertake a major investment in our healthcare infrastructure, the largest in our history.”
Reacting to the President’s address, a member of the opposition NDC who is also the MP for North Tongu constituency Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has thrown shades at the president.
In a Twitter post, Ablakwa wrote:
“I will rather trust a leader who didn’t have to wait for a pandemic to invest in hospitals. #GodBlessJM”
