The United Party (UP) has commended President John Dramani Mahama for introducing the Free Primary Healthcare policy, describing it as a people-centred initiative aimed at bringing healthcare services closer to citizens and providing free treatment for selected illnesses.
Speaking on Nnawotwe Yi on Adom TV, the party’s Communications Director, Solomon Owusu, said the UP fully supports the implementation of the policy, noting that it aligns with their vision for accessible healthcare.
According to him, the policy was originally captured in the party’s “Great Transformation Agenda,” which formed part of its 2024 manifesto. He revealed that the document was presented to President Mahama when the party’s leader, Alan Kyerematen, visited him following his victory in the 2024 presidential election.
Mr Owusu further indicated that the Free Primary Healthcare initiative is specifically outlined on page 63 of the UP’s manifesto.
He added that the party has no issue with a government adopting ideas from political opponents if such policies are beneficial to the public.
“We see nothing wrong if a president finds a policy from an opponent worthwhile and chooses to implement it,” he stated.
He assured that the United Party will play its part to ensure the effective implementation of the policy for the benefit of all Ghanaians.
