Former President John Dramani Mahama is baffled that the NPP government would prioritise flying blood with drones in the face of the numerous challenges confronting the health sector.
That choice is not a priority, John Mahama remarked to a loud cheers of from an NDC gathering after he filed his nominations form on Monday.
“Instead of prioritizing the needs of the health sector, the NPP government chooses to acquire drones to fly blood.”
Parliament on last week approved a $12,527,000 deal the Government of Ghana entered with US-based Fly Zipline Inc to distribute medical suppliers across the country with their drone equipment over a period of four years.
The Ghana Medical Association and some stakeholders have asked the government to cancel the deal because it is a priority of the health sector.
John Mahama agreed and demanded, “Government should get its priorities right by spending the limited resources on more essential interventions other than copying innovations without relevance to therealities of Ghana’s current needs.”
The former president mentioned the ‘no bed syndrome’ which he said is an “indictment of leadership” as well as health worker shortage among other “chronic problem in our health service”, and said these should have rather attracted the attention of the government.
He accused the Akufo-Addo-led government of abandoning health sector projects initiated by the NDC administration.
“Unfortunately, many of these now stand unattended to, monument to the petty partisanship of the day while our people persist in their despair. It is beneath our dignity to allow this to continue.”

Everything about you justifies and clearly points to the fact that you are truly incompetent and visionless. NDC is made up of ingrates who are not dreamers and visionless. Anything which will benefit masses of Ghanains NDC will oppose it eg NHIS, School Feeding , Free Maternal Health etc. John Mahama you are worrying yourself. If you dont know Asiedu Nektiah and all the executives know that you stole a lot of money. So the agenda for NDC on you is Operation Let US Syphone John Mahama's Stolen Money". That is the Agenda. They know that you dont have any chance in 2020 but the modus operandi is to ensure that you sponsor all the Campaign Expenses for 2020. John U Will Surely Loose and Loose Big time in 2020.
I WANT TO KNOW IF YOUR EXCELLENCY FORMER PRES MAHAMA HAS ANY PRIORITY FOR THE PEOPLE OF GHANA.JUST MENTION 1. YOU LOVE POWER OOO
BUILDING A NEW VICE PRESIDENTIAL MANSION FOR $14 MILLIONS WASN'T A PRIORITY.YOU WILL TREND PAA FOR THIS GOOF.BRINGING YOU BACK TO COME AND CONTINUE ***barred word*** IS NOT A PRIORITY
So Mahama, Akonfem that mysteriously flew to Burkina Faso is a priority. No wonder, the NDC will stay in opposition for a very long time. They have not learnt their lessons yet. Mahama has the stolen money so they prefer him so that they can get their share. Ghanaians are very wise. We prefer drones that will fly blood and essential drugs to for the sick in our remote areas than your SADA, SUBA, GYEEDA, BUS BRANDING, KANAZO FORD etc. If I were you I will stay at my one corner and enjoy the stolen and looted booty.
Confused leader
SMH!SOME OF THESE COMMENTS ONLY MAKE DR. BAWUMIA RIGHT "THE NDC DON'T LIKE READING". DON'T REMEMBER GOV'T SAYING THEY ARE GOING TO ACQUIRE DRONES. UNBELIEVABLE! AND THIS IS COMING FROM AN EX-PRESIDENT? SMH AGAIN
So flying blood and other essentials to save life is not a priority but rearing guinea fowls and teaching people to ride bicycle is a priority
Bus branding is the priority then.... corrupt greedy con..man.. get lost.
