Prof. Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, the Vice Presidential Candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has reaffirmed her party’s commitment to establishing a state-of-the-art fertility center if they win the upcoming December 7 general election. Speaking at Camp Junction in the Bia East Constituency during her three-day campaign tour of the Western North Region, Opoku-Agyemang noted that fertility treatment’s high cost poses a significant challenge to many individuals and families seeking to have children.
The proposed fertility center aims to provide low-cost services to families addressing fertility issues, making reproductive healthcare more accessible and affordable. Additionally, the NDC plans to build a brand-new 500-bed children’s hospital, further emphasizing their focus on healthcare.
Opoku-Agyemang also highlighted the party’s plan to provide free sanitary pads to female students nationwide, aiming to keep girls in school. She recalled that during the NDC’s previous tenure, they provided free sanitary pads, but the initiative was politicized and eventually stopped.
Under the next NDC government, Opoku-Agyemang assured that sanitary pads would no longer be a barrier to education for female students. This initiative aligns with the party’s broader vision for quality healthcare and education.
Opoku-Agyemang urged electorates to vote for John Dramani Mahama in the upcoming election, enabling him to reset the country, provide jobs, and financially empower women through the planned Women’s Development Bank.
The NDC’s manifesto emphasizes improving healthcare infrastructure, expanding services, and increasing access to quality healthcare.
By establishing the fertility center and children’s hospital, the NDC aims to address critical healthcare needs and improve the overall well-being of Ghanaian citizens.
Opoku-Agyemang’s campaign tour focuses on highlighting the NDC’s commitments to healthcare, education, and economic empowerment, key areas that will shape the country’s future.
As the December 7 election approaches, the NDC’s promises, including the fertility center and children’s hospital, will likely remain central to their campaign.
