Africa-Press – Ghana. Mr Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, the Health Minister, has reported that the Government’s Free Primary Healthcare Initiative is making steady progress.
“We are engaging with relevant stakeholders to design, finalise, implement, and monitor the programme,” he said, and added, “looking ahead, this initiative has the potential to transform primary healthcare access in Ghana, ensuring that quality services are delivered equitably and sustainably across all communities.”
Mr Akandoh made the disclosure in his half year report during a press conference at the Government’s Accountability Series, which was held the Presidency in Accra.
The Government Accountability Series is being organised by the Presidency Communications Bureau as part of efforts to promote transparency and accountability in governance.
Touching on Emergency Services, he said: “As we all know, emergencies cannot wait – we must respond to them as they happen, it is for this reason that we continue to prioritise emergency services.
“To strengthen emergency response at the community level, the National Ambulance Service (NAS) is partnering with St John Ambulance to establish a pool of
community first responders.”
He said they had initiated procedures to repair ambulances that have broken down; adding that in addition, they were also exploring opportunities to expand the fleet.
