Deputy Minister of Health, Hon. Adelaide Yaa Agyeiwaa Ntim, recently commended the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for their significant investment in healthcare delivery through the commissioning of four major hospital projects in the Ashanti Region. This initiative is part of a broader effort to enhance public health infrastructure and create new job opportunities for health workers in the area. During the commissioning of a new 40-bed hospital in Suame, where she was accompanied by President Akufo-Addo, Hon. Ntim highlighted the benefits that these projects bring to the community and the healthcare system at large.
The hospital in Suame is the latest addition to a series of healthcare facilities inaugurated in the Ashanti Region. It is part of the VAMED project series, culminating in a total of four hospitals inaugurated by President Akufo-Addo in recent months, with previous openings in Brobonso, Sabromum, and Twedie. These developments signal a committed effort by the government to address healthcare access and quality in the region, which has long been considered a priority in national health policy.
In her remarks following the ceremony, Hon. Ntim praised the leadership of President Akufo-Addo and Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for their unwavering dedication to the development of the Ashanti Region. She emphasized that the construction and commissioning of these hospitals are not simply infrastructural improvements, but a vital component of the government’s broader strategy to elevate healthcare standards and meet the needs of the population effectively. This commitment reflects an understanding of how critical accessible healthcare services are to the community’s overall well-being.
Hon. Ntim seized the opportunity to encourage voters in the Ashanti Region to rally behind the NPP’s presidential candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, for the upcoming 2024 general elections. She articulated that the continued support for the party would not only facilitate ongoing healthcare projects but would also foster further development initiatives across various sectors in the region. Her call to action places the upcoming elections in a broader context of growth and stability that is aimed at benefiting the local population.
She reiterated the significant role that healthcare infrastructure plays in economic development and community health outcomes. By commissioning these hospitals, the government aims to reduce the burden on existing facilities, increase access to medical services, and ultimately improve health indicators within the Ashanti Region. Hon. Ntim’s comments underscore a recognition of the ongoing challenges faced in healthcare delivery, as well as a commitment to addressing these through thoughtful and strategic investments.
In summary, the recent commissioning of the four hospitals in the Ashanti Region represents a key milestone for the NPP government in enhancing healthcare delivery and job creation in the sector. Hon. Adelaide Ntim’s commendations reflect the party’s commitment to prioritizing health and development. By encouraging voter support for Dr. Bawumia, she frames the upcoming elections as a pivotal moment for sustaining these positive trends. As the region witnesses growth in healthcare infrastructure, the expectations for improved services and outcomes continue to rise among constituents.
