The Director of Communications of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Richard Ahiagbah, has recommended the flagbearer of the NPP Dr Mahamudu Bawumia to middle-class Ghanaians, professionals, and the business community—those whose voting decisions go beyond partisan politics.
Ahiagbah says that based on his recent personal experiences with Ghana’s healthcare system, he believes that the vision articulated in his 2024 manifesto of the NPP by the flagbearer Dr Mahamudu Bawumia will lead to enhanced healthcare outcomes for every Ghanaian.
He referred to the Agenda 111 hospitals which he said would ensure that every district has a hospital.
“Recruiting additional doctors, nurses, and healthcare professionals with improved conditions of service; Finalizing the digitization of public healthcare institutions under the E-health project; Expanding telehealth services; Establishing two additional medical drone delivery sites at Funsi and Kintampo to broaden drone coverage; Ensuring the interoperability of the National Electronic Pharmacy Platform (NEPP) with both public and private healthcare facilities; Providing incentives for healthcare workers to purchase a vehicle with an engine capacity of up to 1,800cc and Enforcing compliance with the existing deprived area incentive package for health workers,” he further cited these initiatives to support his point.
“I am confident that increasing the number of hospitals and equipping them adequately will directly improve healthcare outcomes for Ghanaians across all districts, thereby alleviating the pressure on tertiary hospitals such as Komfo Anokye. Central to Dr. Bawumia’s vision is the recruitment and motivation of health sector workers, as highlighted in points 7 and 8 above. This approach will help stem the exodus of healthcare workers, increase staff capacity, and inevitably lead to higher quality care and better outcomes for all Ghanaians,” he said in a statement posted on his X platform on Monday August 19.
Given these considerations, he urged all health sector workers to vote for Dr. Bawumia in the upcoming election on December 7, 2024.

The phrase “Bawumia means business” is not rhetoric; it is substantiated by his significant contributions to public service thus far. I earnestly recommend Dr. Bawumia to middle-class Ghanaians, professionals, and the business community—those whose voting decisions go beyond partisan politics.
Furthermore, I recommend Dr. Bawumia to the broader Ghanaian electorate for his commitment to improving healthcare for all.

Consider the following initiatives:
