The founding President of IMANI Africa, Mr Franklin Cudjoe, has said while Ghanaians praise President Nana Akufo-Addo for his fight against COVID-19, it must not be lost on them that the health infrastructure investments made by Mr John Mahama’s administration, have helped that fight, for which, in his opinion, the former President deserves some acknowledgement.
“While we praise Nana for the interventions to fight COVID-19, we must acknowledge the continuous strategic investments in health infrastructure John Mahama made which is coming in handy now”, Mr Cudjoe tweeted, adding: “JM was visionary, too”.
Nana, our President is up here. Nice 1. Uhuru should also prioritise Kenya's health workers. I know he is employing 6,000 more health workers. Uhuru could simply ask the Kenyan broadcaster to buy rights for existing music and film for the consumption of Kenyans. pic.twitter.com/B5ezq2lLbe

Just recently, John Mahama said the health facilities and infrastructure he built during his time in office, have become indispensable to Ghana’s fight against COVID-19.
Days earlier, the Minister of Health, Mr Kweku Agyeman-Manu, announced at one of the press briefings of the government regarding the COVID-19 situation that the University of Ghana Medical Centre and the Bank of Ghana Hospital are ready to be used to manage critical cases and VIP cases, respectively.
The Bank of Ghana later issued a statement to clarify that its facility was available to every citizen and not just VIPs.
Also, the Greater Accra Regional Hospital, also known as Ridge Hospital, is one of the main facilities being used to fight the virus.
