The Minister of Health-designate, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, has pledged to ensure that primary healthcare in Ghana becomes absolutely free when approved by Parliament.
He assured that this would not just be political rhetoric but a concrete policy backed by action.
He bemoaned the current situation where even National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) subscribers struggle to access basic services that should be covered, vowing that under his leadership, this would change.
He gave the assurance when he appeared before the Parliament's Appointments Committee for his vetting.
