Akosua Manu questions abandonment of Zipline and Agenda 111 amid rising maternal deaths

” Ms Manu believes that the rising maternal deaths should serve as a wake-up call for Ghana to prioritise solutions that can improve access to emergency healthcare rather than the politics surrounding it.

Former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s Advisor on Gender and Social Protection, Akosua Manu, has questioned the reported disruption of the Zipline medical drone programme and the slow progress of Agenda 111, amid rising maternal deaths in Ghana.

Ms Manu said the drone programme, championed by Dr Bawumia, was designed to ensure critical supplies such as blood and emergency medicines reach health facilities quickly.
