The Minister of Health, Dr Bernard Okoe-Boye, has pledged to equip the Veterans Administration Ghana (VAG) Clinic at Amasaman with an ambulance and also support the facility with GH¢100,000.
He stated that it was important to equip the health facility as it would help provide adequate healthcare for veteran soldiers and their families, and alleviate the pressure at the 37 Military Hospital in Accra.
Dr Okoe-Boye made the pledge during this year's Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) Band Concert and Poppy Appeal launch, held at the VAG Club House in Accra on Friday, to raise funds to cater for the welfare of veterans and their families in the country.
He indicated that his Ministry was prepared to support the VAG Clinic with modern diagnostic and therapeutic equipment in order to enhance its operations.
