Minister for Health Kwabena Mintah Akandoh has revealed that the government has procured over GH¢500 million worth of medical equipment to support the rollout of the Free Primary Healthcare policy.
Speaking in an interview on April 22, Akandoh said the investment is aimed at retooling primary healthcare facilities across the country to improve service delivery, particularly at the community level where resources have long been limited.
The initiative forms part of broader efforts to strengthen the healthcare system and ensure facilities are adequately equipped to provide essential services.
The Free Primary Healthcare policy, launched by John Dramani Mahama in Dodowa, is expected to expand access to healthcare by removing financial barriers and promoting early treatment and preventive care.
