"We are encouraged that these hospitals will be of the highest quality with 100-bed accommodations and will definitely be a remarkable addition to the health care system. "
The statement believed that the welfare of man was good health and good education and the government's ability to provide the basic and essential necessities would definitely propel the country as a great leader in the sub-continent.

Mr Mba in the statement called on all Ghanaians to respect all the directives issued out by the President and the Ghana Health Service.
"Regularly washing of hands with soup under running water, regular use of hand Sanitizers, use of face masks and the observation of social distancing are not anything that is beyond any Ghanaian, so let us do that to save lives."
