Feature Article Ghana Under John Mahama Vrs Nana Akufo-Addo: What Ghanaians Should Know - Part 2
SAT, 23 NOV 2024

1. Under Mr. John Mahama, Ghana pathetically had 37 functional ambulances across the country. Nana-Bawumia government have provided 307 ambulances under the One Constituency, One Ambulance Initiative across the country.

2. Under Mr. John Mahama, NHIS almost collapsed. Many times we witnessed service providers suspended their services to the NHIS subscribers under the leadership of Mr. John Mahama. Healthcare facilities offering NHIS services are paid regularly under the leadership of Nana Akufo-Addo. No more threats from those facilities to suspend services rendered to NHIS subscribers. Mr. John Mahama's government paid health care providers Ghs1 Billion Ghana Cedis under his regime but Nana-Bawumia government have paid them Ghs6.5 Billion Ghana Cedis so far, clearing arrears under Mr. John Mahama. Childhood cancers, sickle cell disease and now kidney dialysis (effective 1/12/2024) are now covered by NHIS. Take note that, as a subscriber, you now have one opportunity a year to do free medical checkup.

3. Under Mr. John Mahama, there was nothing like Medical Drone Delivery Service. It wouldn't have happened at all because they thought the only purpose for drone was to take pictures. Thanks to Nana-Bawumia government, Zipline Medical Drones are now delivering vaccines, essential drugs, blood and blood products to many health facilities across the country. Recently, the Medical Drone Delivery Service saved an NDC Constituency Chairman who had snake bite on his way to campaign against Dr. Bawumia and the NPP. Advanced Countries like UK, etc are now piloting the medical drones delivery service. Dr. Bawumia, The Generational Thinker, Ghanaians are grateful for this life-saving idea.

4. Under Mr. John Mahama, more than 88 districts had no district hospitals. Nana-Bawumia government among other health facilities constructed, came up with the agenda 111 hospitals project that will change positively the healthcare system in Ghana with over 70, 000 employment opportunities. It is worthy to know that the first psychiatric hospital in Northern Ghana is under construction at Tugu Yapalsi in the Tamale Metropolis. Dr. Bawumia who brought the idea is the best to continue with that initiative to successfully complete them

5. Did you hear anything like District Roads Improvement Program (DRIP) under Mr. John Mahama? Thanks to Nana-Bawumia government, we now have DRIP that is doing wonders in the districts by connecting roads from communities to communities across the nation. That is not all. Dr. Bawumia will continue with Economic Roads Improvement Program (ERIP) to dualize our roads as President of Ghana. In Shaa Allah.

6. My dear teachers, you were unnecessarily harassed by Mr. John Mahama through Prof Naana Jane Opoku Agyeman for no reason. They didn't see the need to give you Professional Development Allowance. Thanks to Nana-Bawumia government, you are now enjoying Professional Development Allowance. NPP is a party you can trust to take care of your needs.

7. Under Mr. John Mahama, medical doctors used to pay for their specialization training. But thanks to Nana-Bawumia government, medical specialization training for medical doctors is now free. Dear Doctors, you know the party that cares for your needs. Thankfully, dear all health care workers, Dr. Bawumia says you should give him the mandate for him to extend the free specialization training to you all.

8. Dear health workers, did you hear of 13th month salary under Mr. John Mahama? Thanks to Nana-Bawumia government, you are now enjoying 13th month salary. If you don't want this what do you want! Dear Nurses, you are now covered under the new agreement. Nana-Bawumia government care for you.

9. Under Mr. John Mahama, hospitals were using physical folders to keep records of patients. Under Nana-Bawumia government, medical records are stored electronically. We now have nationwide digital medical records system in place with a single identity number for each patient. No more many OPD cards for visiting many hospitals. The issue of 'your folder cannot be found' is now history. Indeed, it is possible

10. How many factories did Mr. John Mahama build? If anyone asks you the whereabout of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah's factories, tell him or her that PNDC/NDC governments collapsed them. This is a known fact. Nana-Bawumia government can boast of starting and completing about 168 factories across the country and many are at various levels of completion. The Walewale Watermelon Processing Factory has come on board too. It is expected to provide 800 direct jobs and 1000 indirect jobs to the good people of Walewale, North East Region and beyond

11. My Dear Voter, the choice is yours to choose between progress or retrogression, upgrade or reset, having access to your money through mobile money interoperability or risking your life cashing out money at midnight in the bank, receiving digital training for sustainable jobs or rearing of lions for export, continuation of FSHS education or cancelation of FSHS education, continuation of Arabic teachers allowance or cancelation of Arabic teachers allowance, continuation of teachers and nurses trainee allowances or cancelation of teachers and nurses trainee allowances, etc.

It is possible In Shaa Allah
Thank you
