According to him, the surest way for the government to improve the healthcare delivery of the people is to provide infrastructure, To that end, he said the government is committed to providing the needed health infrastructure.
"Today the NPP wants to build 111 hospitals under the Agenda 111 program. We should be happy as a people for such bold initiatives and support the government irrespective of our political beliefs because when these hospitals are built or completed successfully the next government or party in the government will not have to commit another resource in providing or putting up same hospitals across districts and regions without this facilities.
"What we have to understand is that whatever this current government is able to do right the next government wouldn’t have to spend another money in putting up same. We can do this together when we stop being too partisan or excessively political," he said on Accra-based Kingdom FM.
