The Daily Graphic says it is good to digitise health care infrastructure. It believes that technology will make a real difference in supporting access to care because the shortfalls in global healthcare professionals mean doctors and healthcare staff are often overworked. The paper says a combination of expert research, local knowledge and modern technology can make an immediate and invaluable impact on the welfare of the citizenry. The Graphic is therefore hopeful that when the innovation is successfully deployed, it will make health infrastructure leapfrog some of the challenges in healthcare delivery.    

The Ghanaian Times calls on stakeholders of the Free SHS programme to stop the media war over the numerous challenges facing the schools. The paper says what these stakeholders should know is that the media is out there to get news for their audience and will do everything to get the news but has no solution to the problems. The Times therefore urges the Ghana Education Service and the Conference of Heads of Assisted Senior High Schools to rather join forces and iron out their differences to find a lasting antidote to the challenges at hand. The paper also calls on government to work on finding sustainable sources of funding for the programme.  

The Daily Heritage decries the shameful level of discrimination faced by graduates from the Mampong School for the Deaf in the world of work. The paper refers to an earlier publication in which the Headmistress of the school, Trudy Segbefia is quoted as saying that some graduates of the school are oppressed by members of the public who hire their services. The Heritage cautions the public engaged in this despicable act to desist from it and treat the disabled with respect and dignity. It also joins the Headmistress to encourage graduates of schools of disabilities to endeavour to set up their own businesses.
