The NDC has rejected a statement allegedly made by the NPP Presidential Candidate, Nana Akufo Addo that health care delivery in Ghana is free. The NDC wants the NPP to come clear with the fact. Addressing a news conference in Accra the Propaganda Secretary of the party, Fiifi Kwetey, said Ghanaians are directly financing their own healthcare through the compulsory payment of premium. He also cited the regular contributions made anytime Ghanaians patronize goods and services as a clear sign that healthcare delivery is not free.
On Health infrastructure, Mr. Kwetey said the NPP government had failed to rehabilitate hospitals the NDC government had constructed. He said the Tamale hospital which was on course to be rehabilitated to a regional hospital by the previous regime has been left to deteriorate. Mr. Kwetey asked the Kufuor administration to list some of the new hospitals it has constructed
