Duakwa (C/R), Oct 14, GNA – Mrs Hannah Asamoah, the NPP’s Parliamentary Candidate for Agona East Constituency has paid for the issuance and renewal of 1,038 National Health Insurance Cards for some residents of Agona Duakwa and Agona Kwanyako communities.
Agona Kwanyako residents had 658 while Duakwa had a total of 386 at the end of the exercise to enhance quality and affordable healthcare delivery.
Speaking to the Ghana News Agency (GNA) in an interview at Duakwa and Kwanyako respectively, Mrs Asamoah said the NHIS was a vital legacy by the NPP government.
She said the government under President Akufo –Addo and Dr Mahamudu Bawumia was poised to maintain the excellent health policy to enable vulnerable and underprivileged people enjoy affordable and accessible healthcare services for Ghanaians.
The PC said she decided to provide free health insurance cards to the people in the Agona East because many of them could not afford to pay for the renewal and issuance of new cards.
She noted that majority of the people, particularly the aged needed to access the cards at their doorstep to enable them to do medical checks to know their health status.
The PC said that quality health care for the residents would enable them to conduct their businesses in a brisk manner to enhance economic development.
She said free renewal and issuance of new cards would be replicated in Agona Asafo and Agona Nsaba communities to enable the people, especially the aged and single mothers to benefit from the exercise.
The Parliamentary candidate said it was only the NPP government that could provide good healthcare to the people, adding that the Agenda 111 projects were ample evidence to attest to the “it is Possible’’ Agenda.
Mrs Asamoah called on the people in the Agona East to vote massively for change representation in Parliament on December 7, adding that the constituency had retrogressed due to their representative in parliament.
She said the Constituency could not afford to lose her as an MP because a vote for her to Parliament and another massive one for Dr Bawumia as President would bring massive infrastructural development and human transformation.
The beneficiaries expressed gratitude to the Parliamentary Candidate and pledged their support for her and Presidential Candidate, Dr Bawumia for them to continue good healthcare delivery to them.
