In open forum discussions towards the growth of education and healthcare in the district, the Minister reiterated that quality healthcare delivery and access to education by all, cannot be overemphasized in terms of the socio-economic development of the nation and the Akufo Addo led government is burnt on doing everything possible to better it.

She added that the current ongoing health screening for school-going children across the country is a deliberate attempt by the government to among other things empower future economic productivity, the social well-being of the people and a well-developed human capital for a prosperous Ghana.

She, therefore, entreated all and sundry to pray in support of the numerous and noble visions of the government to ensure a better yield of its fruits.
