It is the political will that is needed which has been lacking. In this election, we are confronted with how to attain Universal Health Coverage 9 years from now, in accordance with SDG3. Health for All.

Ghana subscribed to the Alma Ata Declaration (1978); Millennium Development Goals (2000) Kampala Declaration (2008), SDGs (2015), and recently Astana Declaration (2018).

We must prove we do not just sign these declarations and take perfume and travel allowance, but we are committed to providing the poor and vulnerable with health care.

It is possible to fund it from December 2021 when structural rigidities have been re-oriented. Digitisation of prescription for example will reduce inefficiency (in some cases plain theft) which evidence suggests we lose about GH¢60 FOR EVERY GH¢100 spent in the health care value chain.

Do not have mercy on the politician. They take MIND-BLOWING ex-gratia every four years. Some seek health care abroad and the taxpayer pays for it among others.

The people deserve Free Primary Health Care. With innovation, automation, diversification of health human resources including tasks shifting, less emphasis on brick and mortar we can!

The consolidated fund must consolidate the gains for Ghanaians, not just a few.

Furthermore, between 2017 and 2020 revenue from oil and gas alone save for covid per budget statements would have been GH¢20 Billion. It is possible.

Non-oil revenue from tax and non-tax has not been factored yet. We either forget Universal Health Coverage or we commit to it in practice.

I am for Free Primary Health Care as an accelerated too to achieve Health for All. The NHIS SINCE 2003 is still below 40% COVERAGE. Private health insurance is woefully inadequate.

Which other routes with our annual population growth rate of above 2%? Free Primary Health Care is the way to go. It will also create massive jobs. IT WILL INCLUDE PHARMACY SHOPS, DRUG STORES, AND PHYSICIAN ASSISTANTS AMONG OTHERS.
