According Mr Cudjoe, Mr Mahama has shown “such depth” and did “pretty well” in the Questions and Answer session too.

He applauded Mr Mahama for taking advantage of digitisation and Covid-19 to get all the online eyeballs.

Mahama Facebook Live

Mr Mahama had been using Facebook Live addresses to reach audiences long before Covid-19 hit.

Last Thursday, he held a session at 8:15pm where he promised a potential administration under him would look to expand training for doctors in particular at the University of Health and Allied Sciences and the University of Development Studies.

We have the possibility and we have the plan, if we get elected, to look at the University of Health and Allied Sciences and expand the training of medical professionals in those institutions.

He added that in the University of Development Studies, his administration would “expand the numbers of doctors that we are able to train in that institution.”

Mr Mahama also proposed fast-tracked medicine courses from biomedical students.

We have the biomedical science students who can transition to do a medical degree in four years so if we get some of these biomedical students onto a fast-track medical degree, we can turn out several more doctors than we currently doing.
