The Convention People’s Party (CPP) will tomorrow, October 29, 2016, launch its manifesto ahead of the December 7 polls.
According to the CPP, it will offer hope to Ghanaians who are in despair when given the nod to govern Ghana.
Speaking to Today in an interview ahead of the launch, National Chairman and Leader of the party Professor Edmund N. Delle was optimistic that the party’s long-awaited manifesto will bring the needed development to the country.
He noted that the thematic areas of the manifesto are well-thought out to enhance the socio-economic livelihood of the citizenry.
For instance, he mentioned that in the case of health “our overriding aim will be to reduce inequalities in standards of health care for all who need it”.
According to him, when the CPP forms the next government, it will, among other things, give priority to improving primary health care services, especially in deprived communities, in the inner cities and continue to improve ante-natal and maternity services and develop child health services.
Prof Delle also pointed out that priority would be given to community health systems so as to ensure that there are enough facilities to operate.
Still on health, Prof Delle, who is a dermatologist, said a CPP government would take a major public stake in the pharmaceutical industry.
He went on to explain that a CPP government would do this by “focusing on the production of drugs at very affordable prices”.
