John Mahama, the flagbearer for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has disclosed a bold healthcare plan ahead of the 2024 elections. If elected, he promises free healthcare for all Ghanaians at medical facilities, from the polyclinic level down to the community health centers. This initiative is part of the NDC’s manifesto, which was launched in Winneba on August 24, 2024, and aims to provide quality and affordable healthcare to the public.
Mahama emphasized that under his administration, Ghanaians seeking medical care at these facilities would not have to worry about costs, as services would be fully covered. For those needing care at district hospitals and higher-level institutions, the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) would be responsible for covering expenses. He pledged to ensure the NHIS is properly funded to operate efficiently and serve the people better.
In addition to healthcare reform, Mahama reiterated his commitment to getting rid of certain taxes in his first 100 days in office, including the E-Levy, COVID levy, and 10% tax on bet winnings. His goal is to ease the financial burden on Ghanaians and boost the economy. With these promises, Mahama is positioning his campaign as one focused on relief, improved access to healthcare, and a better quality of life for all citizens.
