Former President John Mahama has thanked all health workers and frontline staff who are at the helm of the fight against the COVID-19 outbreak in Ghana.
Speaking at a brief ceremony at his office in Accra on Saturday, at which he presented some PPE worth GHS300,000 to the National Democratic Congress’ COVID-19 Response Team for onward distribution to the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital and Tamale Teaching Hospital with a promise to procure a further GHS90,000 worth of PPE for other health posts, Mr Mahama said: “Of course, I say thank you to our health workers across the length and breadth of the country for the role you continue to play toward defending this country and our people against the virus”.
“I am deeply touched by the enthusiasm and the sacrifice of our health workers – and I am elated that my government’s heavy investments in health infrastructure is paying off today”, the flag bearer of the biggest opposition party said.
“I, John Dramani Mahama, appreciate you all, and Ghanaians appreciate you all”, he added.
Also, Mr Mahama stressed: “As has become my battle cry over the last few weeks, my brothers and sisters, WE ARE NOT IN NORMAL TIMES, AT ALL. So, please and please, if you have nothing essential doing outside of your home, please STAY HOME, observe the protocols of handwashing as frequently as you can”.
He also urged everyone to “disinfect commonly used surfaces as often as we can, while continuing to wash our hands, and using the alcohol-based hand sanitisers”.
The COVID-19 pandemic and its outbreak in Ghana, Mr Mahama noted, “has brought out the very best in all of us”, observing: “It has been heartwarming to see how political, religious and social differences have evaporated and replaced by a sense of unity and camaraderie in a bid to beat back this disease”.
“We have all with one accord, contributed our widow’s mite, donated what little we can mobilize and shown care to the needy in our society. We have rallied to a national call in ways that have not been seen in quite a while. Many are having to stay home, shut down their business – both big and small – despite the economic implications on the family and workforce.

Where is the social distancing amidst the Corona virius
You canceled their allowance, now you are here taking pictures with them.
Mr.TIO (the incompetent one)is not ashamed of himselfe.You have surrounded yourelf with nurses you failed to employ for your usual propaganda.
Folks, this is the typical “bait and switch” tactics - the story says he was presenting the items to the NDC Covid-19 response team for onward distribution to KBTH and TTH. But do you see any pictures of the response team at this so-called presentation ceremony? They show you an image of the ex Posing with some student nurses captured way back when, and piles are bleeding. Easy folks, politicians and their hangers on will find any means to be relevant instead of displaying real statesmanship at such crucial time.
Why are you fighting yourself? If your party is winning the election why do you worry about what Mahama does.
Who does Mahama think he is;a shadow president or what. We have one president and one govt. I'm appalled at his posturing as if he is in charge of the state. He is not the only past president; see how Kuffour and JJ are holding themselves as statesmen. Shame on you Mahama, if you think you will win the election with this diversionary tactics then forget it. We are rather irritated by your awkward conduct. Shame on you.
HOW MANY HOSPITAL DID EX-PRESIDENT BUILT. EVIL PARTY NDC WILL NEVER COME TO POWER.
In fact, these ndc people will never stop to amaze sone of us, look at them here @@ pointing to discerning Ghanaians who do not have short memories like them. These same people who are around this man today that he is pretending to be who he is not told them he didnt care about losing the elections if he cancelled their allowances and he indeed cancelled. These so called nurses if they are really nurses and not ndc foolsoldiers who are seamstresses and toilors in nurses uniforms would be staying home today if some sensible and discerning Ghanaians havent voted him out! No wonder he called such people as having short memories and he is behaving like he is ruling a part of Ghana. I hope he sill cone out sith how to pay these ndc nurses. Obi nhuhu 3mma obi nkeka ! Who do you expect to vote for good governance for you people to enjoy? You had the nerves with no shame to take a picture with somebody who has no plan, no policy, no program for the country except to come and offer Ashanti bauxite to his brother for free, except to create loo000*0t and share to build his own empire for his comcubines and pikinabolo children. What benefit will you get from this man somebody with no vision for you and you are happy? May God have mercy on your st*upidity. There is no room for f000*00ls even in heaven. I'm not jealous a bit but i'm angry that they are also enjoying the allawa do they know where the money is coming from? Why didnt their john mahama also use it to pay them but cancelled? Ungrateful species but this will never change anything. It is written and what is written is already in movement. 4more4NANA #Onsi nsuom na wo'aham !
Social distance please
