The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama, has promised to provide all the six newly created regions with a regional hospital each if he wins the 2020 elections.
“It has remained our policy as NDC that every region must have a well-functioning regional hospital,” he said at Techiman after the inauguration of an office complex for the Bono East Region of the NDC.
“When we assume government in 2021, therefore, I want to promise you the people of Bono East Region and all the other five newly created regions, that we shall begin the construction of six new regional hospitals in the regions.”
The former president noted that the NDC has never been a party that lies to the people.
“We don’t make wild promises we know we cannot and would not be able to fulfil,” he noted, adding that “my promise of new regional hospitals will be fulfilled.”
The NDC flagbearer is on a two-day working visit to the Bono East Region to interact with the chiefs and people, and thank the NDC supporters and delegates for their endorsement of his candidature to lead the party.
Mr. Mahama also urged the newly elected Bono East Regional Executives to work hard and ensure that the party wins all the parliamentary seats in the new region.
