Addressing students of Essiama Nursing and Midwifery Training College (ENMT) and Asanta SDA Nursing and Midwifery Training school (SDA NMTC) at Essiama in the Ellembele Constituency to kick start the second phase of her three-day campaign tour of the Western Region.

Prof. Opoku Agyeman advised the students to choose a plan that assures them of a bright future over the government’s temporary inducements aimed at vote harvesting.

Referencing the challenges facing the two Nursing and Midwifery training schools in the Ellembele Constituency, Prof. Opoku-Agyemang asked “why are they [the government] not using the money to build the male hostel?

 Have they forgotten that the lecturers don’t have a place to sleep?

Have they forgotten that you need a skills lab?”

She continued, “They will bring you some momo to go and vote for them and the project will continue to remain abandoned.’’

Prof. Opoku-Agyemang said that the Mahama administration did not only have good policies for the health sector but it was also committed to transforming it and therefore invested heavily in the sector.

She further noted that various health facilities were upgraded and equipped throughout the country by then government of former, President John Dramani Mahama, while modern hospitals were also built to employ more nurses, doctors and other health professionals.

Prof. Opoku-Agyemang said NDC prioritises and pursues the interest of health professionals and the healthcare of the people of Ghana at the same time.

She reminded the students that the NDC does not only put the youth at the centre of its policies but also recognises and rewards young people.

She, therefore, urged them to choose wisely by voting for John Dramani Mahama when they cast their ballot in the elections on December 7, 2024.

She recalled the achievements of the NDC in the health sector and observed that, “the government has failed the people of Ghana in this sector too.”
