The Minister for Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, has commenced a working tour of the Central Region with a public sensitisation campaign on President John Dramani Mahama’s Free Primary Healthcare initiative.

The Minister disclosed this in a Facebook post, stating that the tour began with a radio programme aimed at educating residents on the government’s flagship healthcare policy.

“This morning, I commenced my Central Regional working tour on President John Dramani Mahama’s #FreePrimaryHealthCare initiative with a radio sensitisation programme broadcast on GBC Radio Central and seven other stations across the region,” he stated.

According to Mr Akandoh, the radio engagement forms part of efforts to increase public awareness and understanding of the initiative, which seeks to improve access to primary healthcare services across the country.

The Minister noted that the sensitisation programme was aired simultaneously on GBC Radio Central and seven other radio stations in the region to ensure wider reach and participation.

The Free Primary Healthcare initiative is one of the key social intervention programmes being pursued by the Mahama administration to strengthen healthcare delivery and make essential health services more accessible to citizens.

Mr Akandoh is expected to engage health professionals, local authorities, and residents during the regional tour as part of efforts to promote the implementation of the initiative and gather feedback from stakeholders.
